Description

Delicious blackened fish taco bowls filled with savory fish, creamy sauce, and fresh toppings, perfect for a quick dinner or gathering.


Ingredients

  • 4 fillets of white fish (tilapia, cod, or mahi-mahi)
  • 2 cups of cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower)
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce or cabbage
  • 1 cup black beans
  • 1 cup corn
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice for sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder for sauce
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder for sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon salt for sauce


Instructions

  1. Prepare your spice blend by mixing smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
  2. Pat the fish dry and rub it with olive oil. Apply the spice blend thoroughly and squeeze lime juice on top.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the fish for 3-4 minutes per side until blackened and cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, mix Greek yogurt with lime juice, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt for the creamy sauce.
  5. Assemble your bowls with rice as the base. Add shredded lettuce or cabbage, black beans, corn, and top it off with the blackened fish fillet.
  6. Finish your masterpiece with slices of avocado, pico de gallo, and a sprinkle of cilantro. Drizzle with the creamy sauce before serving.

Notes

Double the spicy seasoning for extra heat. Freshness is key for vibrant flavors.
