Tacos de Pescado al Ajo

Tacos de Pescado al Ajo are a light and flavorful Mexican snack featuring tender fish marinated in garlic and spices, served in soft corn tortillas. This dish is not only delicious but also packed with protein and healthy fats.

Ingredients

• White fish fillets (such as tilapia or cod) - 300 grams
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Corn tortillas - 4 small
• Fresh cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Red onion - 1/4 cup, thinly sliced
• Avocado - 1, sliced
• Radishes - 4, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine minced garlic, lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the white fish fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. While the fish is marinating, prepare the toppings: chop the cilantro, thinly slice the red onion, and slice the avocado and radishes.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated fish fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
5. Remove the fish from the skillet and break it into bite-sized pieces.
6. Warm the corn tortillas in the same skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.
7. Assemble the tacos by placing pieces of fish on each tortilla, then top with chopped cilantro, sliced red onion, avocado, and radishes.
8. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
