  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

For the toppings:

  • 1 cup shredded cabbage (red or green)

For assembly:

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fish
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or set a skillet to medium-high heat.
    • In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
    • Rub the fish with olive oil and coat evenly with the seasoning mix.
    • Bake for 12–15 minutes or pan-sear for 3–4 minutes per side until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Drizzle with lime juice after cooking.
  2. Make the Lime Crema
    • In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt. Adjust seasonings to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. Warm the Tortillas
    • Heat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or wrap them in foil and warm in the oven.
  4. Assemble the Tacos
    • Break the cooked fish into bite-sized pieces.
    • Place fish on a tortilla, then top with shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and avocado slices.
    • Drizzle with lime crema.
  5. Serve
    • Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra zest.

Tips
