Method
Prepare the Filling
- 1
Marinate the Fish or Chicken
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the fish fillets or chicken breasts and make sure they are well coated. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Cook the Fish or Chicken
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil if needed. Remove the fish or chicken from the marinade and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky (for fish) or juices run clear (for chicken). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

Shred the Chicken (if using)
