Instructions
- Combine garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, chili powder, cumin, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture on both sides of the fish.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place fish in the hot skillet and cook until the outside has browned and fish is flaky, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from heat and break fillets into pieces.
- Heat tortillas in the same skillet over low heat until warm, about 30 seconds per side.
- Prepare coleslaw: Combine coleslaw mix, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix until well combined. Set aside.
- Prepare avocado sauce: Combine avocado, cilantro, water, lime juice, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a blender or food chopper; blend until smooth. Stir in jalapenos.
- Evenly distribute the fish into each tortilla, add in some slaw, and top with a heaping spoon of the avocado sauce.
