Ingredients
- 1 lb white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup grated carrots
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Fish: In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Brush the fish fillets with olive oil and coat them in the breadcrumb mixture. Place the coated fish on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the Fish: Bake the fish in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
- Make the Slaw: In a separate bowl, mix the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and pepper together until well combined.
- Warm the Tortillas: While the fish is baking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
- Assemble the Tacos: Once the fish is done, flake it into bite-sized pieces. Place some fish on each tortilla, top with the slaw, and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
