The tortilla is one of Mexico's gifts to the world. And if you haven't stuffed a corn tortilla with deep-fried or grilled mahi mahi (or other mild fish) and a little pico de gallo, brother, you are hard pressed to call yourself a true taco eater. Throw in some cilantro, give it a squeeze of lime juice, and it's even better. (Get a recipe
here.) Of course, if you want to keep going, shred some cabbage, slice an avocado and give the tacos a dollop of
crema mexicana or sour cream. Sauteing the fish, instead of deep-frying, cuts the fat, as Kitchen Daily contributor
Alexis Touchet does in this
recipe.
