Ingredients
- Fish fillets (such as tilapia or mahi-mahi)
- Olive oil
- Cumin

- Black pepper
- Corn tortillas
- Creamy spicy mayo (mix mayonnaise with sriracha or your preferred hot sauce)

Instructions
- Preheat the grill or stovetop pan to medium-high heat.

- Coat the fish fillets with the spice blend, then let them marinate for about 15 minutes to absorb those flavors.

- Serve with lime wedges and optional cabbage slaw for an extra crunch!
Notes
Choose fresh, high-quality fish for the best flavor. Allow the fish to rest for a minute after grilling to retain moisture.
