Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt to taste
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 4 tablespoons minced cilantro
- 4 tablespoons minced red onion
- Diced jalapeños, to taste
- 1 1/2 pounds Louisiana drum, snapper, or other mild white fish
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning mix
- Black and red pepper, to taste
- 8 small flour tortillas
- Sliced avocado, diced tomato, cilantro sprigs, lime wedges, for garnish
Instructions
- Make the crema by mixing together sour cream, mayonnaise, lime zest, and lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning, then set aside.
- Mix together cabbage, cilantro, red onion, and jalapeños. Add enough of the sour cream mixture to moisten, reserving the remaining crema.
- Heat a cast iron griddle over medium-high heat. Sprinkle fish evenly with cumin, Creole seasoning mix, and black and red pepper. Cut fish into ½-inch strips across the grain.
- Spray the griddle with cooking oil, then bronze the fish on all sides, turning carefully. Keep warm.
- Warm the tortillas one at a time on the griddle, turning once until softened and slightly browned.
- To serve, divide the cabbage mixture among the tortillas. Top with fish, then garnish with avocado, tomato, and cilantro. Drizzle with the reserved crema and serve with lime wedges.
Notes
- Ensure the fish is cooked evenly on all sides for the best texture.
- Feel free to adjust the heat level by adding more or fewer jalapeños.
- This recipe can be made with other mild white fish, such as tilapia or cod, if Louisiana drum or snapper is unavailable.
