Easy Fish Tacos with Avocado Crema

tilapia (- patted dry)

Tablespoon cumin

Tablespoon smoked paprika

red pepper flakes

garlic powder

onion powder

salt

black pepper

cayenne pepper *HOT* (beware!) (- optional)

Tablespoons canola oil (-

cabbage (- finely shredded)

red onion (- diced)

jalapeno (- diced without seeds (add seeds

Tablespoons cilantro (- finely chopped)

Tablespoons rice wine vinegar

avocado

sour cream (- light is fine,

Tablespoons cilantro

garlic salt

lime (- freshly squeezed)

hot sauce (- optional)

corn or flour tortillas

jalapeno

In a small bowl, combine the spices - cumin, red pepper flakes, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (HOT!), salt and pepper. Pat dry the tilapia and rub the spice mixture on both sides of the fish.

Cover the fish and refrigerate it for at least two hours.

If Baking: Lay fish on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 450 degrees for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until fish flakes easily. Baking time will depend on thickness of fish. After baking, top each filet with a teaspoon of butter.

If Pan Frying: Heat a cast iron skillet to medium high heat, and heat up one tablespoon of oil. Add two pieces of tilapia at a time, and cook on both sides until the fish flakes easily with a fork. This should take about two minutes per side. Repeat for remaining fish.

For the fish:

Mix the cabbage, red onion, radish, jalapeño, cilantro, and rice wine vinegar. Set aside. (This can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator.)

For the veggie slaw:

Using a food processor, combine the avocado, sour cream, cilantro, garlic salt, lime juice, and hot sauce. Whip until creamy. Don't prepare this too far in advance of serving.

For the crema:

Heat up tortillas in microwave by laying them on a slightly damp paper towel.&nbsp;

Arrange tacos. On warm tortillas, layer a generous piece of tilapia, topped with veggie slaw, and avocado crema. Optional toppings include cotija cheese, jalapenos, and hot sauce. Serve immediately.
