1 lb fish fillets
Salt and pepper
Olive oil
1 dozen tortillas (3 tortillas per person)
Vegetable oil or butter
Salsa
1 ripe Avocado
Cabbage
Cider vinegar
Salt
Thinly slice cabbage into a small serving bowl. Sprinkle with about a Tbsp cider vinegar and about a tsp salt. Mix.
Peel avocado, chop and place into another small serving bowl.
Soak fish fillets in cold water for at least one minute. Pat dry with paper towel.
Heat a large stick-free skillet to medium high heat. Add a couple of teaspoons of olive oil to the skillet.
Place fish into skillet. Cooking time depends on the thickness of the fillets.
A thin fillet may take only one minute on each side to cook. A thicker fillet may take a couple of minutes.
Fish should be still barely translucent when cooked. Break off a piece and test if you are not sure.
Do not overcook the fish. Remove from pan when done to a separate plate. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Heat tortillas in a well seasoned cast iron skillet to medium heat with a teaspoon of oil and flip every 10-30 seconds until warm.
Remove the tortilla from the pan and place into basket or on a plate.
Place the plate of tortillas, the plate of fish, the salsa, the cabbage, and the avocados on the table and let everyone assemble their own.
Serves four.
