Taco Filling

Method

Cooking the Squid

  1. 1

    Prepare the Squid

    In a large bowl, combine the sliced squid, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the squid evenly and let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Squid

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated squid and cook for 2-3 minutes until the squid is opaque and cooked through. Stir in the chopped cilantro before removing from heat.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a generous amount of the cooked squid mixture on each tortilla. Top with sliced avocado, radishes, and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
