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