Taco Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Fish

    In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined. Add the fish fillets to the bowl, ensuring they are fully coated in the marinade. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly distributed and glowing. For a gas grill, allow it to heat for about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grill the Fish

    Remove the fish from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Once cooked, remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before flaking it into bite-sized pieces.

  4. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    While the fish is grilling, place the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side, just until warm and slightly charred. Alternatively, you can warm them in a skillet over medium heat.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    To assemble the tacos, take a warm tortilla and add a portion of the grilled fish. Top with shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream. Drizzle with hot sauce to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.
