Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 2
Rub catfish fillets with 1 tablespoon lime juice and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, and coriander. Spray both sides of each fillet with cooking spray.
Step 3
Grill catfish on the preheated grill until fish is easily flaked with a fork, about 5 minutes on each side.
Step 4
Combine sour cream, lime juice, cilantro, and chipotle peppers for crema until well blended; set aside.
Step 5
Combine red cabbage, onion, and cilantro in a large bowl and squeeze lime juice over it. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary; set aside.
Step 6
Wrap corn tortillas in a damp paper towel. Heat in a microwave until warm, about 1 minute.

Divide grilled fish evenly over corn tortillas and serve with cilantro-lime sauce, slaw, Monterey Jack cheese, tomato, avocado, and green onions.
