Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs white fish fillets (like cod or tilapia)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp chipotle powder
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Juice of 1 lime
8–10 corn or flour tortillas
1 ripe avocado
1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
1 tbsp lime juice
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt to taste
Optional toppings: shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, pico de gallo, pickled red onions

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare your grill.
Pat the fish dry. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, chipotle powder, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Rub the spice mixture all over the fish fillets.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or grill for 4-5 minutes per side, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
While the fish cooks, prepare the avocado crema. Mash the avocado in a bowl.
Stir in Greek yogurt (or sour cream), lime juice, minced garlic, and salt until smooth and creamy.
Flake the cooked fish into bite-sized pieces.
Warm the tortillas according to package directions.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the flaked fish.
Assemble the tacos: Fill each tortilla with flaked fish, top with avocado crema, and add your favorite optional toppings.

Notes

Adjust chipotle powder for desired spice level.
Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
For a dairy-free crema, use coconut yogurt or omit the yogurt and add a little water to thin the avocado.
