- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 4 (8 tacos) 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- The Halibut
- 1 lb halibut fillets, cut into strips
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp salt
- The Avocado-Cilantro Crema
- 1 ripe avocado
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro
- Juice of 1 lime
- The Tacos & Toppings
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- Sliced radishes (for topping)
- Extra lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Season the Fish: Season the halibut strips evenly on all sides with the cumin, chili powder, and salt.
- Cook the Halibut: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the spiced halibut strips and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until the fish is opaque, cooked through, and flakes easily. Remove from the heat.
- Blend the Crema: While the fish cooks, combine the ripe avocado, sour cream, fresh cilantro, and lime juice in a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, silky, and creamy.
- Warm the Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave for 15–20 seconds just until they are soft and pliable so they don't tear.
- Flake & Fill: Gently break the cooked halibut into large, flaky chunks and divide them evenly among the warm tortillas.
- Top & Serve: Top each taco with a handful of crisp shredded cabbage and fresh sliced radishes. Drizzle generously with the silky avocado-cilantro crema. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side for a bright finish!
