Instructions
Creating Fish Tacos with Red Cabbage, Jalapeño, and Lime Slaw is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for an unforgettable meal:
1. Prepare the Fish: Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into smaller pieces if desired.
2. Season the Fish: In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the fish fillets until well coated.
3. Cook the Fish: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned fish. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
4. Warm the Tortillas: While the fish is cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side. Keep warm by wrapping in a clean kitchen towel.
5. Prepare the Slaw: In a bowl, mix the sliced red cabbage, jalapeño, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Toss until the cabbage is evenly coated. Season with salt to taste.
6. Assemble the Tacos: On each tortilla, layer pieces of fish, followed by a generous scoop of the red cabbage slaw. Top with optional avocado, sour cream, or pico de gallo if desired.
7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the tacos while warm, savoring each flavor-packed bite.
