Ingredients
Pico de Gallo Salsa:
- 1 large tomato diced
- 1/2 red onion diced
- 1 jalapeño diced (seeds removed for a milder salsa)
- 1 lime juiced
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
Tacos:
- 1 1/2 lbs. fish I used Opah, but if you choose to make it fried, I recommend Tilapia and if you go grilled, Mahi Mahi is great, Cut into 8-pcs (each piece will make a taco, 2-tacos per person)
- 8 flour tortillas
Toppings:
- 1/2 small red cabbage
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 8 tsp hot sauce I use Valentina and truly believe it is the best
- 8 tsp ranch I know this sounds weird, but trust me
- 2 limes cut into 8 wedges total
Instructions
- Salsa: Mix ingredients in a bowl. Set aside. Can be made a day in advance.
- Fish: Option 1: Heat olive oil in a pan. Add the pieces of fish. Cook 2-3 minutes per side. Option 2: Grill.
