Grilled Baja Fish Tacos

  • 1 lb. fresh firm white fish, snapper, cod, etc.
  • 2 limes
  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • corn tortillas
  • Shredded cabbage or lettuce
    (Cabbage has a much longer life span away from a refrigerator, and it lends a good crunch to the tacos)
  • feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Pickled white onions, salsa, and guacamole (recipes follow)

Real Baja fish tacos are battered and deep fried. Very, very good. However, they are messy to prepare and not as good for you as this grilled version.

Place rinsed fish in a shallow bowl or baking dish, squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the fish and sprinkle with oregano and salt. Cover and let marinate for 30 to 60 minutes, keeping the fish cool. Mix the 1/2 cup mayonnaise with the juice of 1/2 a lime, cover and keep cool. Cut the other half of lime into wedges to serve with the tacos.

For grilling, use a fish or vegetable grill, something the fish can not fall through as it cooks. Oil the grill and place over a medium to hot fire. Place fish on grill and cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until done. Begin warming tortillas when fish is turned.

Serve two corn tortillas per taco. Spread a tablespoon of the lime mayonnaise mixture on the tortillas, place a small amount of fish on the mixture, top with shredded cabbage, pickled onions, guacamole and salsa. Enjoy
