Ingredients

For the fish
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pound white fish, about 3 or 4 fillets (I used cod)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 12 corn tortillas
For the Chipotle-Lime Crema
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 Chipotle Pepper in Adobo Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Toppings
  • cilantro
  • radishes
  • lettuce

Instructions

For the fish
    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the cumin, onion and garlic powder. Sprinkle both sides of each fish fillet evenly with the seasoning.
  2. Heat coconut oil in pan over medium-high heat until HOT.
  3. Lay fish fillets in pan and cook for 5 minutes without turning.
  4. After 5 minutes, flip fish and cook on the other side for about 2 minutes, or until fish begins to flake.
  5. Remove pan from heat and flake the fish with a fork. Serve fish on warm corn tortillas, top with lettuce, cilantro, radishes and chipotle lime crema and enjoy!
For the Chipotle Lime Crema
  1. Mix all ingredients in blender. Blend until smooth.
  2. Chill in fridge until ready to eat with tacos!

Notes

  • To make this recipe dairy free, substitute coconut milk for the Greek yogurt.
  • If you want to add another layer of flavor try adding my fish taco slaw on top.
