Description

These fish tacos are fresh, flavorful, and quick to prepare. They feature a simple homemade mango slaw and are perfect with any mild white fish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound mild white fish fillets, such as cod or tilapia
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • For the Mango Slaw:
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • For Serving:
  • Lime wedges
  • Your favorite hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare your grill.
  2. Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Season with salt and black pepper.
  4. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the fish fillets.
  5. Place the seasoned fish on a baking sheet or directly on the grill.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or grill for 4-6 minutes per side, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. While the fish is cooking, prepare the mango slaw. In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, chopped red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Toss gently to combine.
  8. Warm the tortillas according to package directions.
  9. Once the fish is cooked, flake it into bite-sized pieces using a fork.
  10. Assemble the fish tacos by filling each tortilla with flaked fish.
  11. Top generously with the mango slaw.
  12. Serve immediately with lime wedges and hot sauce, if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute other mild white fish like snapper, mahi-mahi, or sole.
  • For a spicier slaw, add a finely diced jalapeño pepper.
  • If you prefer crispy fish tacos, you can lightly dredge the fish in seasoned flour before baking or frying.
  • These fish tacos are also delicious with avocado slices or a creamy avocado sauce.
