Description

Delightful crispy fish tacos with a creamy avocado topping, perfect for bringing people together.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb white fish fillets (cod or tilapia)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Pat dry the fish fillets and season both sides with salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin.
  2. In a shallow bowl, mix flour with remaining chili powder, cumin, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Heat about half an inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Dredge each seasoned fillet in the flour mixture until well-coated.
  5. Fry until golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes per side, then transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
  6. In a blender, combine avocados, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and water until smooth.
  7. Warm tortillas briefly on an open flame or dry skillet.
  8. Assemble tacos by adding crispy fish and topping with avocado crema.

Notes

For extra crunch, double-dip the fish in seasoned flour before frying. Serve with lime wedges.
