Description

Delicious fish tacos featuring crispy fish and fresh cilantro lime slaw wrapped in warm tortillas.


Ingredients

  • Fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
  • Corn tortillas
  • Cabbage, shredded
  • Cilantro, chopped
  • Lime juice
  • Garlic, minced
  • Cumin
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the skillet by heating it over medium heat and adding some olive oil.
  2. Season the fish fillets with cumin, salt, and pepper. Place them in the hot skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through and flaky.
  3. Prepare the cilantro lime slaw by mixing shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
  4. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet for a few minutes on each side until pliable and lightly toasted.
  5. Assemble the tacos by grabbing a warm tortilla, placing a piece of cooked fish on it, and topping it with the cilantro lime slaw.
  6. Serve immediately while fresh and warm.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add chopped jalapeños to the slaw. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
