Crispy grilled white fish fillets served in warm corn tortillas, topped with tangy lime crema, crisp cabbage, and fresh cilantro. Smoky taco seasoning and avocado enhance this light, flavorful twist on Mexican street food.
Ingredients
2 lbs white fish fillets (cod, tilapia)
8 small corn tortillas
1 head green cabbage
3 tbsp key lime juice
2 tbsp finely chopped cilantro
1 cup plain sour cream
2 medium avocados
3 tbsp taco seasoning
1 tbsp olive oil
2 paper towels (for pressing cabbage)
Instructions
Pat fish dry and season with taco seasoning
Mix lime juice with 1 tbsp olive oil and remaining taco seasoning
Marinate 15-30 mins in airtight container
Preheat outdoor grill/pad to high heat
Grill fish 3-4 mins per side until opaque
Toast tortillas 15-20 seconds per side
Slice and press cabbage with paper towels
Mix sour cream with 1 tbsp lime juice
Assemble tacos with warm tortillas, fish, cabbage, lime crema, cilantro, and avocado slices
Notes
Use fresh key lime juice for optimal brightness
For extra crisp cabbage, chill shredded leaves in ice water for 30 mins
Serve immediately after assembly to maintain taco structure
Marinating fish 30 mins maximizes flavor absorption
