# How to Make:
01 - Combine coconut milk, lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Add fish fillets and turn to ensure even coating. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.
02 - Toss shredded red cabbage, carrots, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, and salt in a medium bowl. Mix thoroughly and set aside to allow flavors to blend.
03 - Whisk sour cream or Greek yogurt, coconut milk, lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl until smooth. Refrigerate until ready for use.
04 - Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Remove fish from marinade and grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and easily flaked. Transfer to a plate and let rest, then break into sizeable pieces.
05 - Fill each warmed tortilla with grilled fish, top with slaw, generously drizzle coconut lime crema, and garnish with cilantro and lime wedges. Serve immediately.
