Ingredients
For the slaw and crema
For the fish
Equipment
- Large nonstick skillet
Instructions
Toss the cabbage and cilantro with 2 tbsp of the lime juice and the salt. Whisk the sour cream, mayonnaise and the rest of the lime juice into a crema.
Pat the fish dry. Mix the chili powder, cumin, paprika and salt and sprinkle it over both sides of the fish.
Heat the oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the fish until golden underneath, 3 minutes, then flip carefully and cook until it flakes easily with a fork, 2–3 minutes. Break it into large flakes.
Warm the tortillas in a dry pan. Fill with fish, slaw, crema and avocado.
Notes
- Fish is cooked when it turns opaque and flakes easily, or reaches 145°F.
