Preparation
In a medium bowl combine the radishes, cucumbers, red onion, peppers, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Mix together the cumin, chili powder, and salt and pepper. Sprinkle it over the fish. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the garlic, swish it around, then add the fish without crowding and cook for 3 minutes. Then flip and cook for another 2 or so minutes until cooked through. Place them on a serving plate and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice.
Meanwhile, toss the lettuce with the vinegar and remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and season generously with salt and pepper.
Pile the lettuce into 4 individual shallow bowls. Break up the fish into bite-sized chunks, and divide the fish evenly between the bowls, piling it onto the lettuce.
Spoon the vegetable slaw in equal amounts over the fish, then top with avocado and cilantro, if desired, and serve with tortilla chips on the side.
