Enjoy a healthy and flavorful twist on traditional fish tacos with our Fish Taco Cabbage Wraps recipe. This recipe uses fresh fish fillets seasoned with spices, pan-fried until crispy, and wrapped in a leafy green cabbage instead of a tortilla. Topped with a tangy homemade slaw, avocado slices, and a squeeze of lime, these fish taco cabbage wraps are the perfect combination of nutritious and delicious.

Ingredients

  • 4 fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 8 cabbage leaves
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Lime wedges, for garnish

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the fish fillets.
  2. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil and place the fish fillets in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and crispy.
  3. Meanwhile, in another bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and lime juice to make the slaw dressing.
  4. In a separate large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, chopped cilantro, and diced red onion. Pour the slaw dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine.
  5. To assemble the wraps, place a cabbage leaf on a plate. Add a spoonful of the slaw mixture onto the cabbage leaf. Top with a cooked fish fillet and a few slices of avocado. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  6. Serve the fish taco cabbage wraps with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor. Enjoy!
