Ingredients Needed for This baked cod wraps Recipe

Here’s what you’ll need to create these delicious baked cod wraps:

For the Cod:

• 1 pound cod fillets, skinless
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Wraps:

• 6 large flour tortillas

• 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup salsa (optional)
• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional)

How to Make This baked cod wraps Recipe

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. 2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
3. 3. Place cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Pour or brush the olive oil mixture evenly over the cod.

*Tip: Be sure to coat all sides of the cod fillets for maximum flavor.*

1. 4. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.

*Cooking cue: The cod is done when it is opaque and pulls apart effortlessly.*

1. 5. While the cod is baking, warm the tortillas. You can do this in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few seconds per side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20 seconds.
2. 6. Once the cod is cooked, gently flake it into smaller pieces with a fork.
3. 7. To assemble the wraps, lay a warm tortilla flat. Add a layer of shredded lettuce, followed by flaked baked cod.

*Tip: Don’t overfill the wraps, or they will be difficult to fold.*

1. 8. Top with shredded cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt, salsa (if using), and chopped cilantro (if using).
2. 9. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll up tightly from the bottom.
3. 10. Serve immediately and enjoy these tasty baked cod wraps!

How to Serve This baked cod wraps Recipe

These baked cod wraps are delicious on their own, but you can also create a complete and satisfying meal by pairing them with a few simple sides. Consider serving them with a side salad, such as a cucumber tomato salad, or a creamy coleslaw to add some freshness and crunch. Alternatively, a side of rice or quinoa can provide a more substantial accompaniment.

For added flavor and texture, consider topping these wraps with a dollop of guacamole or a drizzle of lime crema. A sprinkle of chopped green onions can also add a nice touch of freshness. If you like a little heat, a dash of your favorite hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes can kick things up a notch.

How to Store This baked cod wraps Recipe

If you have any leftover baked cod, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s best to store the cod separately from the tortillas and other fillings to prevent them from getting soggy.

To reheat the baked cod, you can gently warm it in a skillet over medium heat or microwave it in short intervals until heated through. Avoid overheating, as this can dry out the cod.

Assembled baked cod wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but if you absolutely need to store them, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Keep in mind that the tortillas may become a bit soft.

Tips to Make This baked cod wraps Recipe

• For extra flavor, marinate the cod in the olive oil mixture for at least 30 minutes before baking.
• Use your favorite type of cheese! Cheddar, Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or even a sprinkle of feta would be delicious.
• Don’t be afraid to experiment with different fillings. Black beans, corn, avocado, or even some sautéed vegetables would be fantastic additions.
• If you’re short on time, use pre shredded lettuce and other prepped ingredients to speed up the process. The versatility of this recipe is endless.
• To make these baked cod wraps gluten free, simply use gluten free tortillas.
