These fish tacos are easy to make and are a nice break if you're used to getting protein from terrestrial sources.

Prepare and cook the fish

  1. Preheat the over to 375°.
  2. Lay the tilapia fillets out on a baking sheet.
  3. Make the fish seasoning by adding 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper to a small bowl and mix thoroughly. Sprinkle the seasoning over both sides of the fillets.
  4. Drizzle the fillets with olive oil. Drop a small pad of butter on top of each fillet for added deliciousness.
  5. Put the fish in the oven and bake for 20 - 25 minutes. Once finished baking, broil for 2 - 3 minutes to give the fish a crispier texture.

Prepare the toppings

  1. Thinly slice 1/2 the head of small purple cabbage (the thinner the better).
  2. Dice the tomatoes.
  3. Dice the avocados.
  4. Thinly slice 1/2 the red onion.
  5. Rinse 1/2 the bunch of cilantro and remove the stems.
  6. Grate the cheese.

Toast the tortillas in a pan for a few minutes on medium heat prior to assembling your tacos. Build your tacos, squirt some lime on top. Bon appétit!
