Ingredients
For the Fish:
- 4 white fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or halibut)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
For the Spicy Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Pico de Gallo:
- 3 ripe tomatoes, diced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt to taste
For Serving:
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- Lime wedges
Directions
- Prepare the fish: In a small bowl, mix chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mix over the fish fillets.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the fish for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Once cooked, break the fish into chunks.
- Make the spicy sauce: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, hot sauce, and garlic powder. Stir until smooth. Adjust the seasoning and spiciness to your taste.
- Prepare the pico de gallo: In a bowl, mix diced tomatoes, chopped onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt. Let it sit for a few minutes to meld the flavors.
- Assemble the tacos: Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Place some of the fish on each tortilla, and top with shredded cabbage, a spoonful of pico de gallo, and a drizzle of the spicy sauce.
- Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side.
