Instructions
- Mix salt, spices and pepper in small bowl until well blended. Brush fish on both sides with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Sprinkle evenly with seasoning mixture on both sides.
- Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in large heavy-bottomed pan or cast-iron skillet on medium heat. Add fish. Cook 2 - 3 minutes per side or until fish is lightly browned, cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from skillet. Cut or flake into large chunks. Keep warm.
- To assemble tacos, toast tortillas in large skillet until edges are lightly toasted. Layer tortillas with red onion, corn, and avocado. Divide fish among tortillas. Top with Cholula® Smoky Chipotle Salsa, crema and cilantro. Serve immediately.
Test Kitchen Tip: Try using other light white fish such as halibut, mahi mahi, snapper, sea bass or catfish.
