Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    If using fish, cut fillets into smaller pieces. If using chicken, cube the breast into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Season the Protein

    In a bowl, combine the fish or chicken pieces with olive oil, salt, pepper, and cumin. Mix well and let marinate for about 15 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Protein

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated fish or chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-8 minutes or until fully cooked through, flipping halfway.

  2. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    Once the protein is cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it melt for about 2-3 minutes.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate pan, lightly warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a portion of the cooked protein and melted cheese onto each warm tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a generous spoonful of salsa.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Fold the tortillas over the filling and serve immediately while warm.
