Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas

- 1 lime, cut into wedges

- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the fish fillets on the baking sheet and brush them with olive oil.
- In a small bowl, mix chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning evenly over the fish.
- Bake the fish for 12–15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
- While the fish bakes, prepare the sauce by mixing sour cream, mayonnaise, and lime juice in a small bowl; set aside.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
- Once the fish is done, break it into bite-sized pieces.
- Assemble the tacos by placing fish pieces on each tortilla, then topping with shredded cabbage, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and a drizzle of the lime sauce.
- Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
