Ingredients

4 pieces tilapia or another firm white fish (about 4 ounces each)

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 tablespoon olive or avocado oil

juice of 1/2 lime

1/3 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

juice of 1/2 lime

1-2 teaspoons adobo sauce (optional, see note)

1-2 teaspoons water (just enough to thin the sauce as desired)

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

2 cups shredded cabbage (red, white, or a mixture)

1/4 cup shredded carrots

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

1 tablespoon olive or avocado oil

juice of 1 lime

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

tortillas (charred or warmed)

lime wedges

Directions

Season the fish on both sides with cumin, chili powder, and salt; set aside.

Prep the sauce and the slaw. Whisk sour cream or Greek yogurt, juice of 1/2 lime, water, chili powder, and salt together in a small bowl. Toss slaw ingredients together in a medium bowl. Place both in the fridge until ready to eat.

Cook the fish. Drizzle olive or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, place fish in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, just until the fish is cooked through and blackened in spots. Remove fish from the skillet, spritz with lime juice, and break apart into large chunks.

Assemble the tacos, starting with the charred or warmed tortilla and layering on slaw, fish, and sauce, in that order. Add other toppings, as desired, and serve with extra lime wedges.
