Tacos de Pescado al Tamarindo is a delicious Mexican snack that combines the tangy sweetness of tamarind with tender fish, all wrapped in a warm tortilla. This dish is not only flavorful but also a healthy option, perfect for a light meal.

Ingredients

• White fish fillets (e.g., tilapia or cod) - 200 grams
• Tamarind paste - 2 tablespoons
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic, minced - 1 clove
• Cumin powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Corn tortillas - 4 small
• Cabbage, finely shredded - 1/2 cup
• Fresh cilantro, chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Lime wedges - 2

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine tamarind paste, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the fish fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for 15 minutes.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated fish fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
4. While the fish is cooking, warm the corn tortillas in another skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
5. Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the skillet and break it into bite-sized pieces.
6. To assemble the tacos, place a portion of the cooked fish on each tortilla, top with shredded cabbage and chopped cilantro.
7. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
