Blackened Fish Tacos with Avocado slaw

I know it's been forever since my last recipe post. They will appear every once in a while.

The other night I made fish tacos for dinner, combining a few ideas from 3 different recipes for the fish seasoning and slaw topping. It was such a easy meal to make, and best part, the fish seasoning tasted very similar to a crab cake. Can't go wrong there!!

I used Flounder, but Tilapia or any other white fish of your choice will do. :)

Ingredients

Fish
4 Flounder fillets
1 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Chili powder
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried Oregano
Pinch of Cayenne pepper
Salt
Pepper
1/2 tsp Brown Sugar
EVOO
Tortillas

Avocado Slaw
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 avocado, diced [pitted and pealed]
Cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 Lime
Salt
Pepper

Fish
1. Combine all the seasonings in a bowl and set aside until you're ready to cook the fish.
2. Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Before placing the fish in the skillet, lightly pour EVOO on one side of the fish then rub the seasoning onto that side. Place seasoned side down in the skillet, then repeat the EVOO/seasoning on top side.
3. Cook for 4-5 minutes before flipping. It's okay if it starts to break up. Continue cooking until the fish is blackened and crispy.
4. Remove fish and cut into pieces.

Avocado Slaw
1. Chop red onion, peel/pit/dice avocado, and chop cilantro. Add all ingredients in a bowl.
2. Juice 1 lime into mix and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

In a tortilla, place blackened fish down then top with avocado slaw. Wrap and enjoy!

This dish is extremely easy to make and takes almost no time. Plus, Taylor said he would like to have it again soon, so that makes me the most happy. And it was delicious. :)
