This was pretty good, but not the greatest. I accidentally overcooked the fish so it was hard and tough to chew but I thought the flavors were pretty light - if you are looking for light cooking. Unfortunately, I was looking for that mexican-lime kick that I am used to from Tex-Mex.

Cumin, coriander, and paprika lend these fish tacos a delightfully warm, smoky flavor. They're the perfect foundation for the zippy sour cream sauce. For an appealing variation, substitute peeled medium shrimp for the snapper or romaine in place of cabbage.
