Ingredients

1 cup Margarita Marinade for Seafood
2 fish filets – redfish is best, but any white fish will do.

Pre-make sauce and marinade according to linked recipe instructions.
Carefully place the fish filets into the marinade, cover and refrigerate for 30 – 60 minutes.
Gather and chop ingredients.
Set the comal over medium-low heat. Warm the corn tortillas and set aside in a tortillero to keep warm.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium flame until oil is hot. Cook fish filets about 6 minutes per side, carefully turning once with a large spatula.
Remove to a cutting board, and cut into one inch pieces.
Stack two corn tortillas. Add a couple pieces of cooked fish. Drizzle with sauce. Top with a small amount of thinly sliced cabbage, jalapeño slices and tomatoes.

Notes

This is so good! I love the crunch of the cabbage, the heat of the jalapeños and sauce, and the citrus flavor in the fish. It is also very visually appealing with the different bright colors.
