Ingredients
For the Marinade
- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ Tbsp garlic minced
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 Tbsp lime juice
- 2 Tbsp canola or vegetable oil
For the Southwest Sauce
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 Tbsp red onion diced
- ½ tsp garlic minced
- 1 tsp chili powder
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp cumin
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp milk
- 2 Tbsp cilantro chopped
- 1 tsp lime juice
For the Tacos
- 1½ pounds firm white fish ~ ¾” thick skinless fillets (i.e. Mahi-Mahi, swordfish, halibut, etc.)
- 8 white corn tortillas
- 1 Tbsp lime juice
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup red cabbage shredded
- 1 avocado diced
- ½ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- ¼ cup red onion thinly sliced
Instructions
For the Marinade
- Combine all Marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Rub both sides of fish fillets with the marinade and place in a glass baking dish. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 3 hours.
For the Southwest Sauce
- Using a medium bowl, add all of the Southwest Sauce ingredients; whisk together until well blended. Set aside.
For the Tacos
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Brush grill grates with vegetable or canola oil to prevent fish from sticking.
- Grill fish 3-4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. (Tip: When fully cooked, fish should flake easily with a fork.) Transfer fish to a large plate or cutting board; let rest for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the tortillas on the grill for 25-30 seconds, or until soft and pliable.
- Using 2 forks, flake the fish into bite-sized pieces and place in a bowl. Whisk together the lime juice and olive oil; drizzle this mixture over the flaked fish.
- Divide the fish into the tortillas and top with cabbage, avocado, cilantro, red onion and southwest sauce.
