This fresh and healthy meal comes together in just 20 minutes.

Prep/Cook Time: 20 Minutes, Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh tilapia or cod fillets
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 lime, halved

  • 8 6-inch corn tostada shells
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage mix
  • 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered (optional)
  • Bottled hot pepper sauce (optional)

  1. Preheat broiler. Sprinkle fish with 1/4 teaspoon chili powder and salt.
