Ingredients
  

For the Pico de Gallo
  • 2 cups diced vine-ripened tomatoes use the best flavor and freshness
  • 1 medium red onion diced finely, soak in water for 10 minutes if desired

  • 1 lime juiced freshly squeezed adds brightness
  • salt and pepper season to taste
For the Fish
  • 1.5 lbs Mahi-Mahi or cod cut into strips for easy handling
  • 1 tbsp olive oil helps achieve perfect grill char
For the Tacos
  • 8 pieces flour tortillas soft and pliable; corn tortillas are gluten-free
  • 0.25 head red cabbage shredded for added crunch and color
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese melts beautifully
For Garnishing
  • 8 tsp hot sauce Valentina is recommended
  • 8 tsp ranch dressing for added creaminess
  • 2 pieces limes cut into wedges

Equipment

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium bowl, combine diced tomatoes, red onion, and minced jalapeño. Squeeze in the juice of one lime, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and set aside or refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C). Lightly drizzle olive oil over the fish strips and season with salt and pepper. Grill each side for 2-3 minutes until cooked through.
  3. Wrap your flour tortillas in aluminum foil and place them on the grill for about 5 minutes until warmed through and slightly charred.
  4. Assemble the tacos starting with a warm tortilla, add shredded cabbage, grilled fish, pico de gallo, ranch dressing, and hot sauce. Squeeze lime over the filling.
  5. Serve immediately, garnishing with additional lime wedges and hot sauce on the side.
