  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb white fish fillets (tilapia or cod)
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage (green & purple)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
