Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the spices for the fish: smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
  2. Pat the white fish dry with paper towels. Drizzle olive oil over the fish and rub to coat evenly. Generously sprinkle the spice blend over both sides of the fish filets and squeeze fresh lime juice over the fish.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the seasoned fish for 3–4 minutes on each side until blackened and the fish flakes easily.
  4. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt until smooth for the sauce.
  5. Assemble the taco bowls with a base of cooked rice or quinoa, followed by shredded lettuce or cabbage, black beans, corn, and the blackened fish.
  6. Top with avocado slices, pico de gallo, and cilantro, then drizzle with the yogurt sauce. Serve with lime wedges.
