Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F.

- For the Cabbage - Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Add salt to taste. This needs to sit for at least 30 minutes to get soft. It's even better if it's longer.

For the Fish Tacos:
- Give a little squeeze of lime juice (~1 Tbsp) on the fish.
- Lightly salt & pepper, sprinkle on some cumin, and place in a lightly oiled pan. Cut the fish into manageable sizes to fit the pan, if needed.
- Cover and bake for ~15 minutes or until fish is flaky.
Warm up tortillas:
- There's a couple different ways to warm up tortillas:
- Heat a dry pan to medium high heat. Add one tortilla at a time to pan and turn over when it starts to puff up and/or get pliable. Warm up the other side for a couple seconds
- OR Place tortillas in microwave and cover with a damp paper towel and warm up, checking every 20 seconds until all are hot.
- OR Wrap tortillas in a packet of aluminum foil and bake at 250F for ~ 20 minutes. Keep tortillas warm at the kitchen table by covering with a dish towel.
Make your tacos!
- Fill tortillas with fish, guacamole, salsa, cabbage. Top with cilantro and with a lime garnish. Happy Eating! Beckie
Notes
- Warming up tortillas makes them more "pliable" (and therefore stronger) when filled.
