Tacos

Lime Cilantro Cabbage Slaw

Chimichurri Aioli

Method

Tacos Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Blackened Grouper

    Season the grouper fillets with salt, black pepper, and blackening seasoning. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through and has a blackened crust. Remove from heat and chop into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable. Keep them warm in a clean kitchen towel.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Queso Fresco and Avocado

    Crumble the queso fresco and slice the avocado into thin slices.

Lime Cilantro Cabbage Slaw Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to combine and let sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Chimichurri Aioli Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Chimichurri Aioli

    In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chopped parsley, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each warm tortilla, layer the blackened grouper, followed by a generous scoop of lime cilantro cabbage slaw. Drizzle with chimichurri aioli, and top with crumbled queso fresco and avocado slices. Serve immediately.
