Ingredients
Grilled Fish
- 3 fillet cod (or other fish
- 1 lime
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Citrus Carrot Slaw
- 2 orange peeled and diced, navel
- 2 orange peeled and diced, Cara Cara variety
- 1 carrot julienne peeled, large
- 1 cup green cabbage thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp cilantro chopped, fresh
- 1 lime juiced
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Other Ingredients
- 6 tortillas (I use my Cassava Flour Tortillas, but you can use any)
- avocado for garnish
- lime for garnish
Instructions
- Mix all of the citrus slaw ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.
- Heat a grill (or grill pan) on medium-high heat and grill the fish for 2-3 minutes on one side. Squeeze the lime over the fish and season with garlic, salt and pepper. Flip the fish and grill for another 2-3 minutes. The fish will likely break apart and that's okay.
- Assemble the fish tacos by placing small pieces of fish in each taco, then top with the slaw. Garnish with avocado and lime slices.

Notes
- If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can use a grill pan or reversible grill/griddle pan and make these in your kitchen. Super easy!
