Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb white fish fillets
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Rinse the white fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut the fish into bite-sized pieces for easier handling in the tacos.
- In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create your spice blend.
- Sprinkle the spice blend evenly over the fish pieces, ensuring they are well-coated. Let the fish marinate for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- While the fish is marinating, prepare the toppings. Shred the cabbage finely and set it aside in a bowl. Slice the avocado into thin pieces and set aside as well.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned fish to the skillet. Cook the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the fish is cooking, warm the corn tortillas. You can do this by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or by wrapping them in foil and placing them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
- Once the fish is done cooking, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Then, assemble the tacos by placing a few pieces of fish on each tortilla.
- Top the fish with a generous amount of shredded cabbage, a spoonful of salsa, and a few slices of avocado. Garnish with fresh cilantro for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve the tacos immediately while they are warm, and enjoy your delicious Marshall House Ghetto Fish Tacos!
Tips
- Choose a firm white fish like cod, tilapia, or halibut for the best texture and flavor absorption.
- Pat the fish dry before seasoning to ensure a crispy exterior when cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking fish - this helps achieve a nice golden-brown crust.
- Warm tortillas just before serving to prevent them from becoming tough or breaking.
- For extra flavor, try squeezing fresh lime juice over the tacos before serving.
- If you like heat, add a dash of hot sauce or some diced jalapeños to kick up the spice level.
- Prep all your toppings before cooking the fish to ensure everything is fresh and ready to assemble.
