Ingredients

  • 1 lb firm white fish I recommend halibut or cod.
  • cup olive oil
  • ½ cup bunch cilantro
  • 3-4 slices jalepenos
  • 1 clove garlic chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • corn or flour tortillas
  • Toppings of choice - thinly sliced green cabbage, red cabbage, jalapenos, radishes, sliced onion, tomatoes, lime wedges, etc.

Instructions

  • For the marinade -
  • Add the olive oil, cilantro, jalepenos slices, garlic , salt & coriander to a food processor and process until the ingredients are finely chopped and combined.
  • Place the fish in a glass dish and spoon half the marinade over the fish, coating all sides. (Reserve the remaining marinade to drizzle over the fish after grilling.) Cover & refrigerate the fish. Marinade for 30 minutes.
  • Remove fish from marinade. Discard used marinade.
  • Time for grilling!
  • Blot the fish with paper towels to remove excess marinade.
  • Grill over hot coals about 6 minutes per side. The fish is done when it flakes easily.
  • If desired, grill the tortillas - they will only take less than a minute per side. It's ok to give them a little char it adds a lot of flavor.
  • When the fish is cooked and you've removed it from the grill, flake the meat and drizzle the reserved sauce over it.
