Ingredients
- 1 lb white fish fillets (like cod or tilapia)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 lime, juiced
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup pico de gallo
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange your baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick better.
- In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of the fish fillets.
- Place the seasoned fish on the baking sheet. Squeeze half of the lime over the fillets for extra flavor before baking.
- Bake the fish in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork. This ensures the fish is cooked perfectly but not dry. Keep an eye on it in the last few minutes.
- While the fish is cooking, prepare the other burrito ingredients. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry pan over medium heat or microwave them for about 10 seconds each. This makes them more pliable when you wrap them.
- Once the fish is done, let it rest for a couple of minutes. Then use a fork to gently break it into bite-sized pieces.
- Assemble the burritos by laying a tortilla flat. Layer the lettuce, a few spoonfuls of seasoned fish, pico de gallo, and avocado slices. Drizzle with remaining lime juice and add a dollop of sour cream.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it into a burrito shape. Ensure all ingredients are snug inside, providing a neat wrap.
- Repeat for the remaining tortillas and serve immediately. Enjoy your freshly made fish burritos, and feel free to add extra toppings like hot sauce for additional flavor.
