This might be my favorite recipe of all time, we have made it four times in the last two weeks & I just cannot get enough.
I have been hunting down the perfect components for a good fish taco recipe, and we came to the conclusion that it needs a good blackened fish, a flavorful, crunchy slaw & a cool avocado topping. So I am sharing the recipe today & giving you a fair warning that you may need to make a quick run to the grocery store! 😉
For the fish //
4-5 tilapia filets
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4-1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (depending on how spicy you like it!)
2 tbsp olive oil
10-12 corn tortillas
For the slaw //
1/4 red cabbage, chopped
1/2 medium red onion, diced
1/2 cup cilantro
juice of 1 lime
For the avocado sauce //
1 ripe avocado
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup cilantro
juice of 1 lime
sprinkle of sea salt
Directions //
1. Combine ingredients for avocado sauce in a food processor or blender, blend until thoroughly mixed & set aside in fridge to chill.
2. Combine ingredients for slaw in a small bowl, mix well & set aside.
3. In a small bowl, mix all ingredients for fish seasoning. Sprinkle the mixture on to both sides of the fish & rub the seasoning in to coat each filet.
4. Heat skillet to medium-high heat, add olive oil & add each piece of fish once the pan has heated. Cook on each side for 5 minutes or until fish is cooked through and is flaking apart & outside looks blackened.
5. Heat a dozen corn tortillas in the same pan, or in the microwave. Break apart all of the fish into small pieces, add to the tortillas & top with slaw and sauce.
6. Serve & enjoy (with margaritas if possible)!
If you try these, I would love to know what you think of them! They’ll probably be on our weekend menu, and taste just as good on the grill instead of the skillet!! 🙂
Hope you are having a happy week so far!! XO
Looks amazing! Definitely have to try this one.

I have always wanted to make fish tacos but have never cooked fish before, so have always been a bit hesitant. I am going to try these! I'm on the 21 Day Fix and just bought some tilapia so we'll see how it goes!

YUM!!! Putting this on the menu! Thanks!
I love fish tacos, and these sound perfect! And I agree, they should always be served with margaritas!
Will def. be trying this! Thank you for sharing!
Can you tell me where you got the adorable "sea salt" mason jar?? Def. a must have!
This recipe looks great! (And thank you for the "real" counter shot! :] Messy cutting board, slew of containers, flower petals and all!)
Yum!!! We make the same ones:) we also sub plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream in the avocado sauce:) sooo good!!!
Just tried this with shrimp – YUM! Thanks for the quick and easy dinner!
OMG! Made these on the grill and WOW! They were delicious! I always love a meal that looks complicated but is so simple to make!!
I must try these!

I was thinking the same thing about the counter!! Love it. That's my kind of cooking 🙂 #reallife
I tried your recipe yesterday. It was very good. Our guest loved it!
Yummy! We made these last night and they were delish!
Yummy! I made these last night and they were delish! We paired them with a grapefruit marg on the patio.
I just made this tonight and omg I want to bathe myself an avocado sauce
Perfect composition! It looks really unique and attractive and urges to eat
I make a recipe like this and agree – it's fab!! Next time hit it with a little chipotle chili with adobo sauce (sold in a can). Either in the slaw or the dip. I know you guys love spicy — you will love it! Xx
Made these tonight! They were super yummy! The fish was especially great. So easy! Thanks for sharing.
