Fish Tacos

This is a dish I have enjoyed many times in restaurants, and I hope you make it for your enjoyment. Note that this recipe is in R&D status.

Ingredients:

2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

3 tablespoons achiote paste

1 pound yellowtail fillet, skin removed

1 tablespoon olive oil

8 small white corn tortillas

1 cup finely shredded cabbage

1 cup chipotle mayonnaise

1 lime, cut into 8 wedges

Directions:

Combine the garlic, salt and achiote paste in a small bowl. Put the mixture into a 1-gallon sealable plastic bag with the fish. Refrigerate for an hour.

Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat On a cast-iron griddle or in a frying pan.

Scrape some of the extra achiote paste from the yellowtail, then grill the fish, about 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until done. If the fish is cooking too quickly or unevenly, adjust the heat as necessary.

Put the fish on a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly across the grain. It is okay if the fish breaks apart.

Warm the tortillas in a pan over medium heat; place them on a platter or on individual plates, two per person.

Divide the fish among the tortillas and top the fish with shredded cabbage and a teaspoonful of chipotle mayonnaise.

Serve immediately with the lime wedges.

Enjoy!
