Ingredients

  • 4 fillets white fish (such as tilapia or cod)
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1 whole avocado, sliced
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 whole lime, cut into wedges
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • optional hot sauce for extra heat

Instructions

  1. Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning, making sure to coat them well.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Carefully place the seasoned fish fillets in the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish easily flakes with a fork and has a nice blackened crust.
  4. In a separate pan or on a griddle, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable and slightly charred.
  5. Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the skillet and break it into chunks. Place a few pieces of the fish onto each warm tortilla.
  6. Add a generous handful of shredded red cabbage, a few slices of avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top of the fish.
  7. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and drizzle with hot sauce, if desired.

💡 Chef's Notes
