• Cut the white fish into 1 oz pieces and place into the marinade mixing everything up together.
• Hold refrigerated for at least 12 hours.

• Next add the salt, lime juice and black pepper add mix everything together well. Keep at room temperature for up to four hours.
• To prepare the Asian Slaw: In a small clean mixing bowl, mix all ingredients together.
• To Prepare Taco Filling: Preheat a large sauté pan and melt the unsalted butter in the pan.
• Drain the marinated white fish and gently place into the melted butter and spread the fish out evenly.
• Sprinkle the blackening spice evenly on the fish and let sit over high heat for 2 minutes. Flip the fish with a spatula and cook on the other side until the fish is completely cooked.
• Turn the heat down to very low and hold hot.
• In a large, clean sauté pan, heat the tortillas up on both sides.
• Toss the Asian slaw in a mixing bowl.
• Lay the hot corn tortillas on a cutting clean cutting board and place 2 oz. of the cooked fish in each tortilla.

BLACKENED FISH TACOS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, onion powder, cumin, salt, brown sugar and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle the mixture as evenly as possible over both sides of the fish fillets.
• Combine all of the Avocado-Cilantro Sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender. Pulse until well-combined; set aside.
• Combine all of the Slaw ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
• Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Once heated, add in the fillets (a few at a time if you can't fit them all at once). Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the outside is blackened and the fish flakes apart easily. Note: try not to move them around so as to achieve a blackening affect. Too much movement, also, encourages the spice mixture to stick to the bottom of the pan.
• Remove the fish from the heat, and if desired, warm the tortillas in the same skillet over medium heat, cooking for about 30 seconds on each side.
• Break up the cooked fillets into 2-3" pieces. Distribute the fish evenly between the tortillas and top with Slaw and Avocado-Cilantro Sauce. You may garnish with additional fresh cilantro leaves and/or jalapeno, if desired.

CABO WABO FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Mix together lime juice, tequila, mexican oregano, minced garlic, onion powder, ground cumin, and 1 tablespoon of fresh cilantro in a small bowl.
• Place tuna fillet in a ziploc bag and pour marinade over fish.
• Remove excess air from bag and seal.
• Refrigerate for one hour, while you prepare your grill.
• Prepare grill by spraying grill surface with non-stick cooking spray BEFORE applying heat.
• Over medium-hot grill (gas, charcoal, electric) cook tuna, turning once, until cooked through (you may just cook on exterior if you prefer).
• (The cooking time will depend upon the thickness of your fillet; tuna can be eaten rare. I suggest a fillet that is slightly pink in the center so it flakes easily without being overdone. Do not overcook your fillet, however.) Set aside.
• Briefly heat corn tortillas carefully on grill.
• Do not overcook, or they will get hard.
• Break tuna into small chunks or shredded pieces and place about 1 1/2 ounces on a double layer of corn tortilla for each taco.
• Add shredded cabbage and chopped cilantro and squeeze a wedge of lime over the taco contents.
• If you wish a spicier taste, add the chilies.
• Serve.
