Pescado Taco is the perfect choice for those who want to enjoy a healthier, yet flavorful taco variation. It is best made with freshly caught fish so that the natural sea aromas truly prevail.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Cut the fish into small pieces and mix with lime juice, olive oil, crushed garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

    2

    Let the fish marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    3

    In a hot skillet, cook the fish pieces for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and flaky.

    4

    If you want a breaded version, dredge the fish pieces in flour and fry in a little oil until golden brown.

    5

    Lightly toast the corn tortillas in a dry skillet to keep them pliable.

    6

    Serve the grilled fish pieces on the tortillas, topped with thinly sliced cabbage, chopped red onion, and fresh cilantro.

    7

    Drizzle with yogurt-based or mayonnaise-based sauce and serve with lime wedges so everyone can squeeze fresh lime juice over their tacos.
