Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the fish fillets and coat them well with the marinade. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.

    Grill the Fish

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and flaky. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Pico de Gallo

    In a medium bowl, combine diced tomatoes, red onion, fresh cilantro, minced jalapeño, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

Chipotle Sauce

    Prepare the Chipotle Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, and lime juice until smooth and well combined. Adjust the seasoning with salt if necessary.
