Ingredients
Fish Tacos:
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon brown sugar
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 (4 ounce) fillets flounder
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
6 (6 inch) corn tortillas
Lime Coleslaw:
½ (8 ounce) package coleslaw mix
½ cup chopped cilantro
2 medium limes, juiced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Avocado Sauce:
1 large avocado, diced
½ cup chopped cilantro
¼ cup water
2 medium limes, juiced
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ tablespoon chopped pickled jalapeno peppers
Directions
Combine garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, chili powder, cumin, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture on both sides of the fish.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place fish in the hot skillet and cook until the outside has browned and fish is flaky, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from heat and break fillets into pieces.
Heat tortillas in the same skillet over low heat until warm, about 30 seconds per side.
Prepare coleslaw: Combine coleslaw mix, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix until well combined. Set aside.
Prepare avocado sauce: Combine avocado, cilantro, water, lime juice, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a blender or food chopper; blend until smooth. Stir in jalapenos.
Evenly distribute the fish into each tortilla, add in some slaw, and top with a heaping spoon of the avocado sauce.
