Ingredients

2 Tbsp vegetable oil

1 1/2 Tbsp fresh lime juice

1 garlic clove, (minced)

1 1/2 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp ground paprika

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, or more to taste)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 lb tilapia*, cod, or mahi mahi

8 corn tortillas**, (warmed)

2 cups shredded purple cabbage

1 avocado, (sliced)

3 Tbsp chopped cilantro leaves

1/3 cup Cotija cheese (optional)

1/4 cup sour cream

3 Tbsp mayonnaise

1 Tbsp fresh lime juice

1/4 tsp garlic powder

Directions

In a mixing bowl whisk together vegetable oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne and season with salt and pepper to taste (about 3/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper).

Place fish into a dish or gallon size resealable bag and pour marinade over fish (if using a bag seal bag and gently move bag around to evenly coat fish with marinade), allow to marinate in mixture 20 minutes (and no longer than 30 minutes).

Grilling Method

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Brush grill grates with oil and place fish on grill.

Grill until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side (cook time will vary based on thickness of fish).

Oven Method

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Place fish on prepared baking sheet. Bake until cooked through, about 10 - 15 minutes (fish should flake easily with a fork).

Stovetop Method

Heat a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, drizzle lightly with vegetable oil. Remove fish from marinade and cook in skillet about 3 - 4 minutes per side, until cooked through.

To Make the Sauce

While the fish is cooking whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Season with salt to taste.

To Assemble Tacos

Break fish into pieces, layer over warm tortillas. Top with cabbage, avocado, cilantro, cheese if using, and fish taco sauce.
