Ingredients:

• 1 lb white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 small corn tortillas
• 1 cup shredded red cabbage
• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/2 cup diced red onion
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 avocado, sliced
• Lime wedges
• Hot sauce (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Grill: Fire up your Arteflame grill to get it ready for grilling. Allow the grill to reach optimal searing temperature, over 1,000F at the center grate.
2. Season the Fish: In a small bowl, mix chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Brush the fish fillets with melted butter and coat evenly with the spice mixture.
3. Sear the Fish: Place the fish fillets on the center grill grate to sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, locking in the juices.
4. Cook to Perfection: Move the seared fish to the outer flat cooktop to continue cooking until it reaches an internal temperature of 140F. Remember to remove the fish when it's 15F below the target temperature.
5. Warm the Tortillas: While the fish is cooking, place the tortillas on the flat cooktop to warm them up, flipping once.
6. Assemble the Tacos: Flake the cooked fish into bite-sized pieces. Place a portion of fish on each tortilla, then top with shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and avocado slices. Serve with lime wedges and hot sauce on the side.

Tips:

• Use a meat thermometer to check the fish's internal temperature, ensuring perfect doneness.
• Serve the tacos immediately for the best flavor and texture.
• For extra flavor, grill some lime halves and squeeze the grilled lime juice over the tacos.
