  • In another bowl, season the fish with 1 tbsp olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until each piece of fish is well coated.
  • Heat oil in a skillet. Fry corn tortillas for about 1-1.5 minutes, then fold them into the shape of a taco and cook on both sides until golden and crisp.
  • In the same skillet, add 2 tsp of oil, the fish and diced tomatoes. Cook for about 5 minutes on both sides, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Add a little water to create a bit of sauce. Once the fish is cooked through, use a fork to flake the fish. Add a squeeze of lime juice and remove from the heat
  • Stuff the tacos with fish, pico de gallo, queso fresco, and sour cream. Enjoy!
