fresh tortillasDirections
- First, make the fish marinade. Dry the cascabel chilies in an oven at 400° F for 10 minutes. Remove the seeds. Place the cascabel chilies, garlic, lime juice, and soy sauce into blender. While blending, add olive oil to make a paste. Slather the marinade on fish and let marinate for 2 hours.
- While the marinade is doing its thing, cut the fish into 1:3 inch strips and skewer. Set aside and refrigerate until ready to use on the grill.
- Next, make the tomatillo salsa. Roast tomatillos in 400° F degree oven for 30 minutes. In the last 15 minutes of roasting, add the serrano and cascabel and roast for 15 minutes. In a blender, add the chilies and garlic and blend until smooth. Once blended, add shallot, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Salt to taste.
- To make the pickled onions, add lime and orange juice, a pinch of oregano (it has to be Mexican), and a pinch of salt. Cover and refrigerate until ready for use.
- Make sure your grill is nice and hot. Grill skewers for two minutes on each side and flip onto a plate for another two minutes to cook through.
- Warm up a tortilla and place one part of sliced avocado across it like a bed and season the avocado with salt and pepper. Lay the grilled fish on top, add salsa, marinated onions, and garnish with cilantro. Enjoy.
