Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, mix 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Rub this spice mix evenly over 1 lb white fish fillets. Place fish on a greased baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil.
Step 2: Bake the fish for 12-15 minutes until opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 3: Meanwhile, combine 2 cups shredded green cabbage, 1/4 cup finely sliced red onion, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro in a large bowl. Add juice of 1 lime and toss to coat.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt and juice of 1 lime to make a creamy lime sauce.
Step 5: Warm 8 small corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side. Flake the baked fish and divide evenly among the tortillas, topping with cabbage slaw and a drizzle of the lime yogurt sauce before serving.
