California Fish Tacos? I think so.

It was my roommate Maya's birthday on Tues and she asked me to cook. What else could be better than some tasty tacos? Here is my take on the "Baja" Fish Taco. They will go quick!

Prep time: 15 mins

Cook time: 10 mins

Serves 4 (2 Tacos Each)

-1 1/2 pounds of fresh Tilapia
-2 tbsp oil
-1 package of corn tortillas
-1/2 head of red cabbage
-2 avocados
-1 onion
-1/2 bunch cilantro
-1 lime
-2 tbsp sour cream
-1 tbsp vinegar
-1 tbsp paprika
-2 tbsp cumin
-1/2 tbsp garlic powder
-1 tbsp red pepper flakes
-1 tbsp onion powder
-1 tbsp dried oregano
-1/2 tbsp salt
-1 tbsp pepper

Make sure you have your oven pre-heated to 350, because the fish is going to go in there!
Combine all your dry ingredients to make a nice rub. Make sure to spread evenly over the tilapia, and hold. Slice your avocado into nice slices and set aside. Slice your onion into strips and sautee till caramelized, and set aside. Cut your cabbage into strips and add the vinegar, lime juice and and sour cream. Salt and pepper to your taste on that, set aside. Heat up a large skillet with the oil till hot, and sear your fish on one side till golden brown. Flip your fish and put into the oven for 3-4 minutes until the fish is cooked through. Remove the fish from the oven and it should easily fall apart. Warm up some of those tortillas, and combine the rest of the ingredients. Build these delicious treats however you want! Disfrutar de!
