Comforting homemade baked fish tacos plated

These baked fish tacos are a flavorful and healthy twist on a classic favorite, featuring tender, seasoned fish topped with fresh slaw and creamy sauce, all wrapped in warm tortillas.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the fish.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. While fish is baking, prepare the slaw by combining shredded cabbage, cilantro, red onion, and lime juice in a bowl. Toss well.
  6. In a separate small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, and hot sauce (if using) to make the creamy sauce.
  7. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
  8. Once the fish is cooked, break it into bite-sized pieces.
  9. Assemble the tacos by placing some fish onto each tortilla, topping with cabbage slaw and a drizzle of creamy sauce.
  10. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, add sliced avocado or pickled jalapeños. These tacos pair well with a side of black beans or Mexican rice.
