Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb fish fillets (such as tilapia)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt to taste
- 6 corn tortillas
- 1 cup cabbage, shredded
- 1/2 cup salsa
- Fresh lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This will help the seasonings adhere better.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to create a marinade for the fish.
- Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure that the fish is evenly coated on both sides. Allow the fish to marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
- While the fish is marinating, heat a grill or charbroiler over medium-high heat. If using an outdoor grill, ensure it is preheated and clean.
- Once the grill is hot, place the marinated fish fillets directly on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking to maintain moisture.
- While the fish is cooking, warm the corn tortillas. You can do this by placing them on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side or by wrapping them in aluminum foil and placing them in a warm oven.
- Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a minute. Then, using a fork, gently flake the fish into bite-sized pieces.
- To assemble the tacos, take a warm corn tortilla and add a generous amount of shredded cabbage as the base. Top with the grilled fish pieces.
- Drizzle salsa over the fish and cabbage, adding as much or as little as you like based on your taste preference.
- Serve the tacos with fresh lime wedges on the side. Squeeze lime juice over the tacos just before eating for an extra burst of flavor.
- Enjoy your delicious charbroiled fish tacos with family and friends!
Tips
- • Pat your fish fillets completely dry before marinating to ensure the seasonings stick and create a perfect flavor crust. • Don't overcook the fish - 3-4 minutes per side is the sweet spot for maintaining moisture and tenderness. • Use fresh lime juice just before serving to brighten the entire dish's flavor profile. • For extra crunch, consider toasting your corn tortillas directly on the grill for a smoky touch. • Choose firm white fish like tilapia that can withstand grilling without falling apart. • Prep all ingredients beforehand to make the cooking process smooth and stress-free. • Experiment with different salsas to customize your taco experience - from mild to spicy!
