These fish tacos are bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors that make every bite irresistible. Flaky, seasoned fish is pan-seared until golden and layered into warm tortillas, then topped with crunchy cabbage, juicy salsa, and creamy avocado. A drizzle of tangy cilantro-lime crema ties it all together, balancing richness with zesty freshness. Perfect for taco night, these are light enough for summer but satisfying enough year-round.

Ingredients (for 4 servings):

• 1 lb white fish (cod, tilapia, or halibut)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup shredded green cabbage
• 1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
• 1 avocado, diced
• 1 cup fresh tomato salsa (pico de gallo)
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• Juice of 1 lime
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
• 8 small flour or corn tortillas

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the fish.
2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish and cook 3–4 min. per side, until golden brown and flaky. Remove from the skillet and break into large chunks.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, and half the cilantro to make the crema.
4. Warm the tortillas in a skillet or over a gas flame.
5. To assemble, fill each tortilla with fish, shredded cabbage, a spoonful of salsa, and diced avocado. Drizzle with cilantro-lime crema and sprinkle with extra cilantro.
