Description

Delicious fish tacos with a zesty cilantro slaw and a spicy sriracha mayo.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb white fish fillets (cod, mahi-mahi, or tilapia)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • For the Cilantro Slaw:
  • 1/2 head green cabbage, shredded
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Sriracha Mayo:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 12 tbsp sriracha sauce (adjust to your spice preference)
  • 1 tbsp lime juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cilantro Slaw: In a bowl, combine shredded cabbage, cilantro, mayonnaise, lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
  2. Make the Sriracha Mayo: In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and lime juice. Adjust sriracha for desired spice level.
  3. Cook the Fish: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season fish fillets with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Warm the Tortillas: Warm corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
  5. Assemble the Tacos: Flake the cooked fish into smaller pieces. Fill each tortilla with flaked fish, cilantro slaw, and a drizzle of sriracha mayo.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy your fish tacos.

Notes

  • You can use any white fish you prefer.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha to your spice preference.
  • For a healthier option, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise in the slaw and mayo.
