The Best Fish Burrito
Valentina P
We love a good fish burrito. Flaky baked fish, rice, black bean, pickled cabbage, avocado, and creamy taco sauce all rolled up in a soft tortilla.

Shopping List
-
For the Fish
- 6 to 8 ounce fillet(s) tilapia, rockfish, or red snapper
- 1 teaspoon EACH olive oil and butter
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade) For the Pickled Cabbage
- 1 cup red cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 lemon For the Burritos
- 2 soft burrito-sized tortillas
- cooked rice (we like sushi rice)
- black beans
- avocado, diced
- roma tomato, chopped
- sriracha mayo or taco sauce, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Let's start with the pickled cabbage. Slice the cabbage as thinly as possible and place in an airtight container or mason jar with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Shake well and refrigerate.
- Step 2: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Step 3: Rub the olive oil over both sides of the fish and then season all over with the taco seasoning and a pinch of salt. Place the fish on the baking sheet and dot with the butter.
- Step 4: Bake the fish for 20 to 22 minutes, or until flaky and cooked through. Transfer onto a plate and cover with the fish drippings for more flavor.
- Step 5: Prep all your burrito fillings (cook the rice, chop the tomatoes, prepare the taco sauce).
- Step 6: Lay the tortilla flat on a cutting board. Stack a small mound of the rice, torn fish pieces, black beans, pickled cabbage (liquid drained), tomato, avocado, and sauce in the middle of the tortilla. Fold the sides up, then roll it up front to back into a burrito. Wrap it with foil if you’re saving it for later.
- Serve: Slice in half and enjoy with optional extra taco sauce.
