Method
- STEP 1Instructions
- STEP 2In a small bowl, combine paprika, pepper, salt, oregano, sugar, garlic powder, and cayenne. Place fish in a large bowl, or zip-top bag, and add seasoning mixture. Stir or shake to coat well.
- STEP 3In a large pan, heat a small drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and peppers, and cook 5-7 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove onion and peppers from pan and set aside. Add another drizzle of olive oil and add about ÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂàof the fish. Cook 2-3 minutes per side, remove from pan and repeat with the remaining fish. (DonÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂt crowd the pan, this will help it to get slightly crispy on the outside and will prevent the fish from steaming).
- STEP 4To serve, add a few pieces of fish, peppers, and onions to each tortilla. Add a little lime juice and garnish with cilantro and cheese.
