1 lb white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or halibut)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal or panko breadcrumbs
2 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
Vegetable oil for frying or olive oil for grilling
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cabbage or slaw mix
½ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional)
Fresh cilantro and lime wedges for garnish
Prepare the coating – In one bowl, mix flour with chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, add beaten eggs. In a third, place cornmeal or panko.
Coat the fish – Dip each fish fillet into the flour mixture, then the egg, and finally the cornmeal or breadcrumbs for a crispy coating.
Cook the fish – Heat oil in a skillet and fry fish until golden brown and fully cooked, about 3–4 minutes per side. Alternatively, brush with olive oil and grill until cooked through.
Make the sauce – In a small bowl, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, and hot sauce until smooth.
Warm the tortillas – Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or wrap in foil and warm in the oven.
Assemble the tacos – Place pieces of fish onto tortillas, top with shredded cabbage, drizzle with sauce, and garnish with cilantro and lime wedges.
