Cuisine: Clean Eating
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound white fish (e.g., tilapia or cod)
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 cup cabbage, shredded
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Rinse the white fish under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Cut the fish into bite-sized pieces, if necessary.
- In a bowl, season the fish pieces with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a sprinkle of lime juice for extra flavor. Let it marinate for a few minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add a small amount of olive oil (or your preferred cooking oil) to the skillet, ensuring it coats the bottom evenly.
- Carefully place the seasoned fish into the skillet. Cook the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan; you may need to cook the fish in batches.
- While the fish is cooking, warm the corn tortillas. You can do this by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or you can wrap them in foil and place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
- Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, you can quickly sauté the shredded cabbage for 1-2 minutes until it is slightly wilted, if desired, or you can keep it raw for a crunchier texture.
- To assemble the tacos, take a warm corn tortilla and place a few pieces of the cooked fish in the center. Top with shredded cabbage and slices of avocado.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos for added flavor. You can also add any additional toppings you enjoy, such as fresh cilantro or a light salsa.
- Serve the tacos immediately while they are warm, with extra lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
Tips
- Choose the right fish: Opt for fresh, firm white fish like tilapia or cod that holds up well during cooking.
- Pat the fish dry before seasoning to ensure a perfect sear and prevent steaming.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking fish – this helps achieve a beautiful golden crust.
- Warm tortillas just before serving to enhance their flavor and prevent cracking.
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of chili powder or cumin to your fish seasoning.
- Keep your toppings fresh and crisp – the contrast in textures makes these tacos truly spectacular.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice just before serving to brighten up all the flavors.
