Pescadillas Adobadas Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    In a bowl, combine the white fish, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the marinated fish and cook until it is flaky and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the capers, raisins, and half of the chipotle tomatillo salsa. Mix well and set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Pescadillas

    Take a corn tortilla and fill it with a generous amount of the fish mixture and a sprinkle of Oaxacan cheese. Fold the tortilla in half to create a half-moon shape.

  4. 4

    Cook the Pescadillas

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the filled tortillas for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the pescadillas hot, drizzled with the remaining chipotle tomatillo salsa and alongside the mixed summer salad.
