Servings: 4
Calories: 392kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb white fish fillets (tilapia, flounder or snapper for example)
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 8 corn tortillas (taco size - 6" diameter)
For the chili lime sauce
- 1/4 cup avocado oil mayonnaise or olive oil mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp Cholula sauce or other hot sauce
- 1 lime juiced
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Pat dry the fish.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet on medium high heat.
- In a small bowl, mix salt, ground cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. Rub this spice blend onto both sides of the fish.
- Add olive oil to the skillet and lay the fish fillets down.
- Cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side until the fish is firm and opaque. Actual time may vary depending on the fish thickness.
- While the fish is cooking, combine the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl. If it feels too thick, add a tablespoon of water or two until you reach desired consistency. Refrigerate until ready to eat.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a hot skillet about 30 seconds on each side. Stack them in a tortilla warmer or on a plate covered with a towel.
- To assemble the tacos, place the cooked fish on the bottom of each tortilla and drizzle with the sauce. Add your favorite taco toppings.
Notes
If you've got leftover fish, it will keep in an airtight container in your refrigerator for a day or two. When it's time for a fish taco reprise, reheat the fish gently in the oven or microwave. Just be careful not to overdo it, or the fish will get tough and dried out.
As for the sauce, it will keep in the fridge for about a week, again in an airtight container. But let's be real, it's so tasty, I bet it won't last that long!
