Ingredients
Fish
- 1 pound white fish mahi mahi, flounder, tilapia, grouper, etc
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon minced jalapeño
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
Slaw
- 2 cups shredded purple cabbage
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Toppings
- 1/2 red onion diced
- 2 roma tomatoes diced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup guacamole optional
- 2 limes quartered
- 8 corn tortillas warmed
Instructions
- Combine the olive oil, lime juice, and chili powder in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
- Place the fish in a shallow dish (like a glass cake pan). Pour the marinade over the fish. Sprinkle the jalapeno and cilantro over it and let it marinate for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the slaw and toppings. To make slaw, toss shredded cabbage with red wine vinegar in a small mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add in fish and cook for about 5 minutes per side. Actual cooking time will depend on the thickness of your fillet. The fish is done when it can easily be flaked with a fork.
- Compile your tacos with fish, cabbage slaw, a little onion, tomato, cilantro and guacamole and a squirt of lime juice.
