Cooking Directions
1. For the guacamole: In a medium bowl, mash avocado to a mix of smooth and chunky. Add lime, jalapeno, cilantro, garlic, and chilies and mix thoroughly. Add watermelon and salt (if desired) and toss. Cover and refrigerate to let flavors blend.
2. Heat oven to 350°F. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Place cod on sheet and season with chili powder and salt. Bake for 12 to 20 minutes (depending on thickness of fish) or until barely cooked through. Remove from oven and cut into pieces.
3. Heat tortillas on a grill or griddle. Top each with a few pieces of fish, 1/4 cup cabbage mixture, a heaping spoonful of guacamole, a tablespoon of salsa, and a few pieces of diced watermelon.
