Fort-Worth Fish Tacos

Ingredients

• 1 lb. of white fish fillets (tilapia, cod, or halibut)
• 1/4 cup of lime juice
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon of cumin
• 1 teaspoon of chili powder
• 1/4 cup of olive oil

Directions

1. In a shallow bowl, combine the lime juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the fish fillets and marinate for 15-20 minutes.
