Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds firm white fish fillets (like cod, tilapia, or snapper)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.

  6. Flake the grilled fish into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Assemble the tacos by filling the warm tortillas with the flaked fish.

  • Adjust the chili powder to your preferred level of spice.
  • Feel free to use your favorite type of white fish.
