Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound white fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or snapper)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, pickled red onions
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Rub the spice mixture all over the fish fillets.
- Grill the fish for 4-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the fish is grilling, prepare the avocado crema. In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, and minced garlic. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side.
- Flake the grilled fish into bite-sized pieces.
- Assemble the tacos by filling each tortilla with flaked fish.
- Top generously with avocado crema and your favorite optional toppings.
Notes
- You can also bake the fish if you don’t have a grill. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes.
- For a spicier crema, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.
- If you don’t have Greek yogurt, sour cream or mayonnaise can be used as a substitute.
