Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds firm white fish fillets (like cod, tilapia, or snapper)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lime juice (from about 2 limes)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin

Instructions

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

  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Grill the fish for 3-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet.
  6. Flake the grilled fish into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Assemble the tacos by filling the warm tortillas with the flaked fish.
  8. Add your favorite toppings like shredded cabbage, avocado, cilantro, salsa, and a squeeze of fresh lime.

Notes

  • You can also pan-sear the fish if grilling is not possible.
  • Adjust the chili powder to your preferred level of spice.
  • Feel free to use your favorite type of white fish.
