Make a marinade for the fish with 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Zest and juice one lime, adding the juice to the marinade.

Whisk the marinade together and place 1 pound of cod in it for 15 minutes, turning occasionally.

In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon sriracha to create a sauce.

Grate half or a third of a clove of garlic into the sauce and add a pinch of lime zest, then mix and taste.

Prepare fresh salsa by chopping 1/2 cup diced red onion, several diced tomatoes, a handful of fresh cilantro, and jalapeno to taste, adding a sprinkle of cumin and lime juice.

Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil until it ripples but does not smoke.

Remove excess marinade from the fish and place it in the hot pan, cooking for about 3 minutes on each side until it flakes easily with a fork.

Chop cabbage into bite-sized pieces for taco topping.

Check the fish for doneness by flaking it apart; if it doesn't flake easily, cook for an extra minute.

Once cooked, remove the fish from the heat and cover to keep warm.

Warm corn tortillas on the flame or in a pan until pliable.

Assemble the tacos by placing fish on the tortillas, topping with cabbage, and drizzling with the sauce and salsa.
