  • Grill the fish on the pre-heated grill for 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked. The fish should flake easily and there should be a golden brown crust.
  • Remove the fish from the grill and squeeze the fresh lime and orange juice over the fish. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  • To assemble, place a few large pieces of the flaked fish into a warmed tortilla, Top with a spoonful of guacamole, a bit of salsa and 2 tablespoons of the curtido. Serve immediately.

For the Curtido

  • Combine the cabbage, carrot, and onion in a large bowl. Combine the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl and then pour over the cabbage mixture and stir.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

The curtido needs to be made ahead of time - at least 2 hours. Once you've made it, it can stay in the fridge for up to 3 days.
