- Comments()
- Yield Makes 4
Ingredients
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, plus leaves for serving
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder, or regular chili powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 limes, zested and juiced, plus 4 lime wedges for serving
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 red snapper fillets (5 ounces each), skin on
- 8 radishes, julienned
- 6 ounces green cabbage, finely shredded (2 cups)
- 3 scallions, julienned
- 1 firm, ripe Hass avocado, halved, pitted, and peeled
- 4 eight-inch flour tortillas
Directions
-
Mash garlic and salt into a fine paste using a mortar and pestle (or use the side of a chef's knife), and transfer to a bowl. Stir in cilantro, chili powder, oregano, lime zest, and olive oil. Cut 2 slashes in the skin of each fish fillet. Flip, and rub half the spice mixture onto fish; reserve remaining half.
-
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill fish, skin side up first, flipping once, until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
-
Remove skin from fish, and discard. Flake fish into large pieces, discarding any bones. Combine fish with the remaining spice mixture and toss with 2 teaspoons lime juice.
-
Toss radishes, cabbage, and scallions in a bowl. Mash avocado in a bowl; stir in 1 tablespoon lime juice.
-
Using tongs, toast tortillas over an open flame of a gas stove, 5 to 10 seconds per side. (Or heat the tortillas in a skillet over high heat.)
-
Spread mashed avocado onto each tortilla. Top with fish, slaw, and cilantro leaves. Fold tortillas over filling, and serve with lime wedges.
