How to Make Baja Fish Tacos

Step 1: Prepare the Avocado Crema

Add all crema ingredients to a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Slaw

In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, green onions, and cilantro. Pour in the dressing, toss to coat, and refrigerate.

Step 3: Cook the Fish

Mix all spices in a small bowl. Pat cod filets dry and season both sides with the spice blend. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add avocado oil, and cook cod for 2-3 minutes per side until flaky. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4: Assemble Your Tacos

Warm your gluten-free tortillas in a dry skillet. Assemble tacos with avocado crema, slaw, fish, and (optional) pico de gallo. Serve with a fresh lime wedge and enjoy!
