Scale
1 lb white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 eggs

8 small corn tortillas
1 cup shredded cabbage
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 avocado
1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
Dip fish fillets in the egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture.
Place coated fish on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and cooked through.
While the fish is baking, prepare the avocado crema by blending avocado, sour cream, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave.
Assemble the tacos by placing fish on tortillas, topping with cabbage, tomatoes, cilantro, and a drizzle of avocado crema.

Feel free to add other toppings like jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
These tacos can be served with a side of rice or beans for a complete meal.
