Ingredients

  • 1 lime, juiced

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro

  • 1 jalapeno pepper, diced

  • 1 tablespoon ground ancho chile powder

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • ½ pound halibut fillets

  • 8 corn tortillas

  • 2 cups shredded cabbage, or to taste

  • 1 (8 ounce) jar salsa, or to taste

  • 1 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese, or to taste

  • 1 avocado, sliced, or to taste

Directions

  1. Stir lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, jalapeno, chile powder, cumin, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl or resealable zip-top bag. Add halibut and marinate for 20 to 25 minutes. Do not over-marinate, as lime juice will start to 'cook' the fish.

  2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Drain marinade; grill fillets for 5 minutes. Turn and cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 2 minutes more.

  3. Warm tortillas on the grill or stove. Divide halibut among tortillas and top with cabbage, salsa, pepper Jack cheese, and avocado.
