Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Marinade
  • Juice of one lime
  • 1 shot tequila
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 Tablespoons cilantro chopped
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 fish steaks we like tuna and swordfish
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • Sour cream
  • 1 lime cut into wedges
  • Cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • Shredded chipotle cheddar cheese
  • Avocado sliced
  • 8 taco shells
  • Fresh cilantro

Method
 

  1. Combine the marinade ingredients and pour over the fish in a shallow pan.
  2. Allow it to sit in the fridge for about an hour, flipping every 15 minutes
  3. Warm your grill to high heat. Sprinkle a bit of taco seasoning on both sides of the fish and set each steak on the grill directly over the fire. Cook the fish as you would a beef steak, about 12 minutes total, flipping once.
  4. Remove the fish and allow it to cool, sitting at room temperature for about 5 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, make the sauce by mixing the taco seasoning and a squeeze of fresh lime juice into the sour cream. You don’t measurements — this is easy to make to taste.
  6. Shred the fish with a fork or your hands, and fill each taco shell. Garnish with tomato, avocado, cheese, and cilantro. Add a dollop of the sauce to the top and enjoy with a margarita or a beer.
