Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb white fish fillets (cod or tilapia)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 corn tortillas
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- Juice of 2 limes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Pat the fish fillets dry and season both sides generously with the spice mix.
- Place panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Dip each seasoned fish fillet into the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure they stick well. Lay them out evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the fish bakes, scoop out avocados into a bowl. Add lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper; mash until smooth yet slightly chunky.
- Warm corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave until pliable.
- Place pieces of crispy fish onto each tortilla and top generously with avocado crema.
- Add any extra toppings you desire—cabbage slaw or salsa work wonderfully.
