Ingredients

1 lb white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or halibut)

1/2 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp oil (for cooking fish)

6 small corn or flour tortillas

1 cup shredded cabbage (red or green)

1 avocado, diced

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

2 tbsp fresh lime juice (plus wedges for serving)

1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

2 tbsp sriracha sauce

pinch of salt (for the sauce)


Instructions

1. Pat dry the fish fillets. In a small bowl, mix cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this seasoning all over the fish. Let rest for a few minutes.

2. Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add fish and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and flaky. Remove and gently flake into chunks.

3. In a bowl, mix sour cream (or Greek yogurt), sriracha, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth. Adjust sriracha to taste.

4. Prepare your toppings: shred the cabbage, dice the avocado, and chop the cilantro.

5. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.

6. Assemble tacos: Start with cabbage, add chunks of fish, top with avocado, drizzle the spicy sriracha lime sauce, and finish with chopped cilantro and a lime wedge.

Notes

Use a grill pan for added smoky flavor if preferred.

Adjust sriracha levels depending on your spice preference.

Dice avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
