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 jalapeno
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped cilantro

Slaw

  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • salt and pepper

Toppings:

  • 1/2 red onion diced
  • 2 roma tomatoes diced
  • 1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 cup guacamole optional
  • 2 limes quartered
  • 8 corn or flour 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.
