Blackened Cajun Fish Tacos Flavorful and Easy Recipe
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
- 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.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add a generous handful of shredded red cabbage, a few slices of avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top of the fish.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and drizzle with hot sauce, if desired.
