Ingredients
Fish and Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Chimi Dalkin&Co Seasoning
- 1 pound skinless cod, any pin bones removed
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- Fresh lime wedges, for seasoning and serving
Avocado Topping
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- Fresh lime juice, to taste
Tortillas
- 8 small flour or corn tortillas
Optional Garnishes
- Hot sauce, for serving
- Extra cilantro, for serving
Instructions
- Season the Fish: Sprinkle the Chimi Dalkin&Co seasoning evenly over the cod along with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Let it marinate and stand for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the Fish: Heat a grill pan on the stovetop or prepare a BBQ grill over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the pan or grill. Season the fish with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Place the fish on the grill and cook, flipping halfway through, until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 6 to 8 minutes total. Once cooked, squeeze fresh lime juice over the fish and set aside.
- Prepare the Avocado Mixture: While the fish is cooking, combine the diced avocados and chopped chives in a small bowl. Smash them together gently using a fork or potato masher. Season the mixture with kosher salt, black pepper, and fresh lime juice to taste, ensuring a balanced and zesty flavor.
- Char the Tortillas: Using an open flame (such as a gas stove burner or grill), char the flour or corn tortillas on both sides until they develop slightly blackened spots and are warmed through, enhancing their flavor and texture.
- Assemble the Tacos: Break the cooked fish gently into large flakes or chunks. Evenly spread a generous layer of the smashed avocado mixture onto each tortilla, then top with large pieces of the grilled fish. Serve immediately with optional hot sauce drizzled on top and extra cilantro and lime wedges on the side for an added burst of freshness.
Notes
- Use skinless, boneless cod for easy preparation and even cooking.
- Char the tortillas carefully over an open flame for best flavor, but watch closely to avoid burning.
- For a lower-carb option, substitute tortillas with lettuce wraps.
- Adjust lime juice and seasoning to your taste preferences for a perfect balance of tanginess and saltiness.
- Serve with your favorite hot sauce or fresh salsa for extra heat and flavor.
