Tacos

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Blackened Fish

    Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Coat the fish fillets with blackening seasoning on both sides. Add a tablespoon of oil to the skillet and sear the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until blackened and cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest.

  2. 2

    Make the Pineapple Pico de Gallo

    In a bowl, combine diced pineapple, chopped red onion, chopped jalapeño, and lime juice. Mix well and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Avocado Crema

    In a blender, combine the avocado, sour cream, a pinch of salt, and lime juice. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Flake the blackened fish into pieces and place them in the center of each tortilla. Top with pineapple pico de gallo, avocado crema, sliced scallions, and micro cilantro.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
