Border Grill Grilled Alaska Cod Tacos Recipes

BORDER GRILL GRILLED ALASKA COD TACOS

Steps:

• For the marinade, lightly toast cumin seeds in a dry skillet over low heat just until aroma is released, about 5 minutes. Transfer seeds to
• a blender. Add jalapeos, garlic, salt, pepper, and lime juice and puree until cumin seeds are finely ground. Add cilantro and olive oil and
• puree until smooth. Using hands, generously cover Alaska Cod entirely with marinade and let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Preheat a medium-hot grill, broiler oven, or pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Cook fish until nearly opaque throughout, about 2
• to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Remove fish from heat, cool slightly, and pull apart into large flakes.
• To assemble tacos: Place warm tortillas on a work surface and line each with a piece of lettuce. Top with chunks of fish, a generous
• spoonful of salsa fresca, and guacamole. Serve immediately accompanied by lime wedges.
• * To warm, dip corn tortillas in water, shaking off excess. Toast, in batches, in a nonstick pan over moderate heat, about 1 minute per
• side. Wrap in towel to keep warm.
• Border Guacamole
• Makes 3 cups, or 6 appetizer servings
• 5 ripe avocados, preferably California Hass
• 6 Tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 medium red onion, diced
• 4 jalapeo chiles, stemmed, seeded, and finely diced
