Receta Grilled Fish Tacos
Tangy avocado salsa and grilled fish in a warm tortilla make for a much healthier fish taco than the usual restaurant variety. This recipe is based on one from Bill Phillips Eating for Life, though I had to sub a few ingredients due to what I had on hand. Too cold to grill outdoors, I used the counter top grill. No swordfish or tuna, so I subbed some firm Tilapia fillets and - it worked well! No flour tortillas but corn tortillas toasted lightly did the trick and also reduced calories and fat from that shown below in Nutrition Facts. Light and tasty - and no heavy feeling in your tummy later. Now that’s a great south-of-the-border meal!

- Preheat grill to medium
- Combine olive oil, juice of 3 limes, 4 garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon cumin in a shallow bowl or pie plate.
- Add fish to this marinade and let it soak up the flavors for 15 minutes at room temperature, turning once after 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a separate small mixing bowl stir together the remaining juice of 1 lime, 1 garlic clove, and 1 teaspoon cumin; lightly toss in avocado, onion, jalapenos and cilantro.
- Place marinated fish on hot grill and cook for approximately 5 minutes, turn and grill 5 more minutes until opaque throughout (using an indoor grill which cooks on both sides at once eliminates the need to turn and eliminates the additional grill time.)
- Place cooked fish on cutting board, let it cool slightly and cut into thin strips.
- While grill is still hot place flour tortillas on it and grill for about 30 seconds each side.
- Place 2 tortillas on each plate. Put a lettuce leaf in each, fill with a portion of grilled fish, and top with avocado salsa.
- NOTE: I heat corn tortillas in my toaster til theyâre no longer flimsy but still pliable (or I toast them till firm and slightly crisp for a tostada.) This is a trial and error affair til you get it right, and has to be watched closely. Or use your alternative method of baking corn tortillas without fat.)
