This recipe uses a blend of spices to give the fish a smoky and spicy flavor, which is balanced by the cool and creamy avocado crema and the crunchy cabbage slaw. The tacos can be made with any type of firm fish, such as mahi, tilapia, or salmon, and are usually served with warm tortillas and a wedge of lime to squeeze over the top. These tacos are a delicious way to enjoy seafood and are perfect for a casual dinner or a party with friends.
