Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 4 pieces Roma tomatoes
- 1 piece Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 pieces Red onion
- 0.25 cups Cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons Tequila
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 piece Avocado
- 1 cup Shredded cabbage
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, garlic powder, ground cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, and black pepper.
Brush the marinade onto the halibut fillets and let them sit for 10 minutes while your grill heats up.
Place the Roma tomatoes, jalapeño pepper, and half of a red onion on a baking sheet. Roast them on the grill for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until charred and softened.
Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender. Add cilantro, 2 tablespoons tequila, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 0.5 teaspoons salt. Blend until smooth to create the salsa.
Grill the marinated halibut fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.
Slice the halibut into bite-sized pieces and assemble the tacos by layering fish, roasted tomato tequila salsa, avocado slices, shredded cabbage, and a dollop of sour cream on each tortilla.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
