Instructions
Prepare the Cabbage Slaw (SLO Mix)

Time: PT10M
Season the Cod
Pat the cod pieces dry with paper towels. Drizzle with olive oil and rub both sides. In a small bowl mix garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and paprika. Sprinkle the spice blend over the fish, pressing gently to adhere.
Time: PT5M
Bake the Fish
Line the baking sheet with parchment paper and place the seasoned cod on it. Bake in a pre‑heated oven at 400‑425°F for 10‑15 minutes, depending on thickness, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the exterior is lightly crisp.
Time: PT12M
Temperature: 400-425°F
Make the Avocado‑Lime Sauce
In a food processor combine sour cream, mashed avocado, the remaining half of the diced jalapeño, minced garlic, fresh cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Time: PT5M
Warm the Tortillas
Stack the tortillas and warm them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or microwave covered with a damp paper towel for 20 seconds until pliable.
Time: PT2M
Assemble the Tacos
Place a spoonful of slaw on each warm tortilla, top with a piece of baked cod, drizzle with avocado‑lime sauce, and garnish with extra cilantro or lime wedges if desired.
