Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds cod, halibut, tilapia or mahi mahi (or other mild white fish)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (or sweet paprika)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (or 5 tablespoons sour cream plus 3 tablespoons mayonnaise)
  • 1 ½ tablespoons lime juice (from 1 lime)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼-½ teaspoon sriracha sauce* (or to taste)
  • pinch of salt
  • water (as needed to thin sauce)
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • ½ small red cabbage* (shredded)
  • 1 avocado (sliced)
  • ¼ cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime (cut into wedges)

Directions

  1. 1

    Pat the fish dry with paper towels. Combine the chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder and salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle the seasoning over both sides of the fish and gently pat the seasoning onto the fish.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, sriracha and salt. If the sauce is too thick you can thin it with a little water, a teaspoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency. Set aside.

  3. 3

    (Optional) Warm and slightly crisp the tortillas, one at a time, in a hot skillet on the stove. Alternatively, you can warm the tortillas all at once in the microwave.

  4. 4

    To serve, fill each tortilla with shredded cabbage, cooked fish, avocado slices, fish taco sauce and chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
