Ingredients

– 1 lb firm white fish (tilapia, cod, or mahi-mahi)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
– 1 tablespoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 8 corn tortillas
– 1 cup cabbage (shredded)
– 1 medium carrot (julienned)
– ¼ cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
– ½ avocado (sliced, for serving)
– Optional toppings: diced tomatoes, lime wedges, or hot sauce


Instructions

Creating these Chili Lime Grilled Fish Tacos with Slaw can be a delightfully straightforward process. Simply follow these steps:

1. Marinate the Fish: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the fish to the marinade and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
2. Prepare the Slaw: In a separate bowl, combine shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, and chopped cilantro. Toss with a little lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
4. Grill the Fish: Place the marinated fish on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until it flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and let it rest for a minute before flaking it into bite-sized pieces.
5. Warm the Tortillas: On the grill or a skillet, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until soft.
6. Assemble the Tacos: Take a tortilla and add a portion of grilled fish, followed by a generous scoop of slaw. Top with avocado slices and any additional toppings you desire.
7. Serve: Repeat until all fish and tortillas are used, and enjoy immediately!

With these simple steps, you’ll have a plate full of Chili Lime Grilled Fish Tacos with Slaw ready to be devoured.
