Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until softened.

Stir in the minced garlic and chopped jalapeños, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the fish fillets to the skillet, seasoning with kosher salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Once the fish is cooked, gently break it into bite-sized pieces and add the diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Stir well to combine and heat through for another minute.

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side or until they are pliable.

Assemble the tacos by placing a generous amount of the fish mixture on each tortilla, then top with sliced cabbage and avocado.

Serve the tacos with lime wedges and additional cilantro for garnish, and enjoy!
