Happy Friday! It's still feeling quite warm here in Arizona while the rest of the country seems to be cooling down so it's back out to the grill for me! This recipe for grilled fish tacos is easy enough for a quick weeknight meal or perfect for a weekend evening, sitting outside if you're lucky enough to enjoy some cool temperatures.
Gather the marinade ingredients:
Whisk up the marinade and pour it into a sealing plastic bag with the fish.
Seal and let the fish marinate in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
Prep your toppings and preheat the grill. Put the fish on a sheet of aluminum foil that has been lightly sprayed with non-stick spray. Be sure the foil piece is big enough to wrap the fish into a nice, tight little package.
Seal the edges at the sides and fold at the top, like a lunch bag. This way no juice drips out while the fish cooks. Grill for 10-12 minutes. The fish should be flaky and somewhat opaque.
Shred the fish with forks.
Heat the corn tortillas on the grill for 1 minute on each side. This will give them a firm texture and a smoky grill flavor.
Add the shredded fish and taco ingredients.
Fold the taco and add any toppings you like, such as sour cream and fresh cilantro.
