Description

A fresh and vibrant low-carb twist on the classic fish tacos, this recipe features seasoned fish, crispy veggies, and a zesty avocado sauce. Served in a bowl, it's the perfect healthy meal that satisfies cravings without the carbs!


Ingredients

1 lb white fish fillets (such as tilapia or cod)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 small head of cauliflower, grated (for "rice")

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 cup shredded lettuce

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 avocado, sliced

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

For the avocado sauce:

1/2 avocado

1 tablespoon Greek yogurt (or sour cream)

1 tablespoon lime juice

Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  3. While the fish is baking, prepare the cauliflower rice. Grate the cauliflower using a box grater or pulse it in a food processor until it resembles rice grains.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the grated cauliflower to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper and stir in lime juice.
  5. To make the avocado sauce, blend the avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor until smooth.
  6. Once the fish is ready, flake it into bite-sized pieces with a fork.
  7. Assemble the bowls by placing a base of cauliflower rice in each bowl, then top with the seasoned fish, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, avocado slices, and a drizzle of avocado sauce.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.

Notes

Vegetarian Option: Swap the fish for roasted tofu or tempeh for a plant-based version of this bowl.

Spicy Kick: Add some sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce on top for an extra spicy punch.

Taco Bowl with Cheese: If you’re not strictly low-carb, you can sprinkle some shredded cheese or crumbled queso fresco over the top of the bowls for added richness.

Add More Veggies: Feel free to add extra toppings like cucumber, bell peppers, or radishes for extra crunch and flavor.
