This recipe is from a couple of summers ago.  I thought I would post this here to remind myself, and to share with you guys, this refreshing twist on fish tacos! I didn’t include precise measurements because I just whipped this up. Marinades are pretty forgiving, so just add everything according to your own preferences and enough to coat however much fish you’re preparing. Any firm white fish will work for this.

 

Margarita Fish Tacos

~1/2 jalapeño

~3 garlic cloves, mined finely (or grated)

1 lime, zested and juiced

1 shot of tequila

~1/3 cup olive oil

small handful of lemon mint, chopped

salt

2 fillets fish-whatever is your favorite taco fish (we used cod this time)

taco fixings (tortilla at the very minimum)

Finely chop the jalapeño, garlic cloves, and lemon mint. Add to a shallow dish or gallon bag. Add your lime juice, tequila, and olive oil. Season with salt to taste. Mix. Add fish. Marinate for up to 30 minutes. You don’t want to leave the fish so long that it cooks in the lime juice. Grill over medium heat until the fish is flaky and opaque. At this point, I chop any veggies I want in my tacos, add them to a foil packet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt, and throw them on the grill until nice and tender. Warm your tortillas; assemble tacos!
