Ingredients

  • 1 pound flounder fish fillets
  • ½ teaspoon ground chipotle
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup slaw
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes cubed
  • 1 jalapeño cubed
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro roughly chopped
  • Juice of 1 ½ lime freshly squeezed
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ an avocado cubed
  • 1 tablespoon chipotle mayo (optional)

Instructions

  • Season fish with ground chipotle, 1 teaspoon lime juice, salt, and pepper. Heat oil in a frying pan and cook fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a comal, warm tortillas for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until soft and pliable.
  • Season slaw with 1 teaspoon lime juice, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  • Mix together tomato, jalapeño, cilantro, 1 teaspoon lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • To build your tacos, layer slaw and fish over the tortilla. Top with tomato jalapeño salsa and avocado. Drizzle chipotle mayo, if desired.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Warm your tortillas slightly before adding the filling to make them more pliable.
  • Your fish may take slightly longer to cook or require less time depending on the thickness of the fillets. The fish should easily flake when it is cooked through.
