Taco Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Rub the salmon fillets with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Salmon

    Grill the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    While the salmon is resting, warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Flake the salmon and divide it among the warm tortillas. Top each taco with black beans, a drizzle of crema, tomatillo salsa, and fresh cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over the top.
