Ingredients
  

For the fish:
  • 1 1/4 lb firm white fish cod, mahi-mahi, or tilapia
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lime juiced
For the slaw:
  • 3 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 pinch salt
For the chipotle sauce:

  • 1 tsp chipotle in adobo minced
  • 1 Tbsp lime juice
To assemble:

Method
 

  1. Mix the spices and rub over the fish; drizzle with olive oil and lime.
  2. Toss the slaw ingredients together; in a separate bowl, stir together the sauce ingredients.
  3. Grill the fish over medium-high heat 3–4 minutes per side until it flakes. Break into chunks.
  4. Fill warm tortillas with fish, slaw, and a drizzle of chipotle-yogurt sauce.

Notes

Nutrition per 2 tacos (approximate): 310 calories, 28g protein, 30g carbs, 9g fat. Use any firm white fish — cod, mahi-mahi, or tilapia. No grill? A grill pan or skillet works just as well. Warm the tortillas so they don't crack, and double them up if they tear. Blackened version: add extra paprika and a pinch of cayenne to the rub.
