Description

Enjoy these flavorful Low-Carb Fish Taco Bowls, featuring fresh fish, crunchy greens, and a zesty sauce for a satisfying meal.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb white fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or mahi-mahi)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 3 cups shredded lettuce or mixed greens
  • 2 cups cauliflower rice (cooked)
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, diced
  • ½ cup red cabbage, shredded
  • ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
  • Lime wedges, for serving
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ¼ tsp salt


Instructions

  1. Pat the fish fillets dry using a paper towel. Rub olive oil on the fish, ensuring an even coat of the spice mixture made of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the fish and let it rest before flaking into bite-sized pieces.
  3. While the fish cooks, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt in a small bowl for the sauce.
  4. Assemble the bowls starting with a base of shredded lettuce or cauliflower rice. Top with the flaky fish, cherry tomatoes, cabbage, red onion, avocado, jalapeños, cilantro, and drizzle the creamy sauce on top.
  5. Serve the bowls with lime wedges for an extra citrus pop.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider marinating the fish in lime juice for 15-30 minutes before seasoning.
