Ingredients
- For the Fish:
- 1½ lbs. white fish filets (cod, halibut, tilapia, etc.)
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Spice Blend:
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp salt

- ¼ cup cotija cheese, crumbled
- 2 limes, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Pat fish filets dry with paper towels to remove moisture, then drizzle all sides with olive oil.
- In a small bowl, combine all the spices for the seasoning blend.
- Sprinkle the spice blend evenly over both sides of the fish.
- Place the seasoned fish on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily and reaches an internal temperature of 140°F.
- Remove from oven and break the fish into bite-sized pieces.
- Warm the corn tortillas and fill them with fish, avocado, tomato, onion, cilantro, and cotija cheese.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top before serving. Enjoy!

- Double the spice blend and store for quick taco nights in the future.
- For extra crunch, add shredded cabbage or slaw mix.
