Description

Delicious and flavorful fish tacos, perfect for a quick dinner or a fun gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb white fish fillets (such as tilapia or cod)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup salsa or pico de gallo
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix flour, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
  2. Dip fish fillets into buttermilk, then dredge in the flour mixture until fully coated.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the fish fillets until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  4. Warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave.
  5. Assemble the tacos by placing a piece of fried fish on each tortilla, topped with shredded cabbage, avocado, and salsa.
  6. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize toppings with your favorite ingredients such as radishes, jalapeños, or a creamy sauce.
  • For a healthier option, consider grilling the fish instead of frying.
