Instructions

  1. In a bowl or freezer bag add the lime juice, olive oil, hot sauce, spices, salt and pepper. Whisk together and add in the cod. Coat the cod in the marinade and let it marinate for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400° F. While the grill heats, shred the cabbage, slice the avocado, and make the white sauce.
  3. To make the white sauce combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together. Taste for seasoning.
  4. Once the grill is hot, oil the grates and then place the cod fillets on them. Grill for 3-4 minutes and then flip them over and grill another 3-4 minutes or until it flakes in the center easily with a fork. Remove the cod from the grill and let it rest for several minutes before flaking it apart with a fork.
  5. To assemble, fill the warmed tortillas with some of the cod and top them with sliced avocado, shredded cabbage, crumbled queso fresco, white sauce, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
