Instructions
 

Mis en place

  • Prep all of your taco toppings first. The fish won’t take long to cook, so make sure everything else you need for serving is ready before you begin.
  • Mix the seasoning for the fish. In a small bowl, combine chile powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
  • Season the fillets on both sides, rubbing the spice mixture in well. Set aside.

Prepare the tortillas

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cook the tortillas on a large skillet for about 30 seconds per side (just until they are toasted).
  • Wrap the finished tortillas in tin foil and place in the oven to stay warm.

Cook the fish

  • Heat a skillet to medium high heat and add olive oil.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the fish to the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until browned. (Timing will depend on the thickness of your fillets).
  • Remove from the pan and break into pieces.

Serve!

  • Serve warm tortillas with fish, your favourite taco toppings, and lime wedges on the side.
