🌶️ What You’ll Need

For the fish:
1 tsp chipotle chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1 lb cod filets
Olive oil

For the crema:
1/2 cup cottage cheese
2 ripe avocados
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Zest of 1/2 lime
Juice 1 lime
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin
Pepper to taste

For the tomato-jalapeño salsa:
1 pint cherry tomatoes, chopped
1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Juice of 1/2 lime
1/4 tsp salt
Pepper to taste

🔥 How To Make The Magic

1️⃣Preheat the oven to 400. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.

2️⃣Make the pickled onions, if using. Warm the vinegar over the stove until just before boiling. Next, add the onions, vinegar, water, honey, cilantro, sesame seeds, salt and pepper to a jar and cover with a seal-tight cover. Shake to combine and set aside.

3️⃣Make the crema. Add the cottage cheese, avocado, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, salt, cumin and pepper to a food processor and process until smooth.

4️⃣Make the fish. First, add the spices to a small bowl and mix to combine. Add the cod to the sheet pan, then cover each filet with the spice mixture. Drizzle with olive oil and place in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

5️⃣Next, make the salsa. Add the salsa, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper to a bowl. Mix to combine.

6️⃣Assemble the tacos. Add the crema to each tortilla, then some red cabbage, fish, salsa, pickled onions, sauce of your choice and cilantro.
