Grill over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side until cooked through and lightly charred. Flake whitefish into chunks.
Char tortillas directly over a flame or on the grill, about 30 seconds per side. Assemble tacos with slaw, flaked cod, sliced avocado, and a drizzle of chipotle crema. Finish with lime and cilantro.

Notes

The best tip for grilling white fish is to only grill it on one side. No need to flip! This also keeps it from drying out.

You can make your seasoning own blend with cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, a pinch of chipotle powder, and a little salt. It won't be identical but it gets you there. Beyond Baja is available online and at specialty spice retailers.
