Blackened Fish Tacos Recipe

Prepare all your taco toppings and set them aside. This can be done well in advance aside from the avocado. If making your own blackening seasoning, combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix. You will not use all of it, you can save it for later in a sealed container.

Pat the fish dry with a paper towel. Rub both sides of the fish with blackening seasoning making sure the filets are generously seasoned all over.
Meanwhile, heat oil over medium-high heat in a skillet. Sear the fish until fully cooked through and flakey, about 5 minutes per side. Fish should have a nice blackened exterior.
Break fish apart into thin strips using the tip of your spatula. Serve in the skillet to keep warm.
Serve with warmed or toasted corn tortillas with tomato, avocado, shredded cabbage, cilantro, chipotle mayo, and cotija cheese. Serve with lime wedges. See the note below on toasting tortillas!
