Ingredients
  

For The Fish
  • 1 lb white fish fillets (tilapia, cod, or your favorite)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
For The Spicy Sriracha Lime Sauce
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha (or more, if you like it hot!)
  • Juice of 1 lime lime
  • Salt, to taste
For Assembling
  • Corn or flour tortillas
  • Shredded cabbage or lettuce
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Lime wedges, for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the fish dry with a paper towel and sprinkle on the cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the seasoned fish in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until it's cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  2. While the fish is cooking, mix the mayonnaise, Sriracha, and lime juice in a small bowl. Season with salt to taste.
  3. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 20-30 seconds per side or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 20 seconds.
Assembly
  1. Flake the cooked fish into bite-sized pieces. Layer the tortillas with shredded cabbage or lettuce, then top with the fish, diced tomatoes, and drizzle with the spicy Sriracha lime sauce.
  2. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

Substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a healthier version. Adjust Sriracha to your preferred spice level. Double the recipe for a crowd.
