Ingredients
- 1 pound firm white fish, such as tilapia, snapper, cod, mahi mahi
- 1 T oil or oil spray for grill grates (if grilling).
- 1/2 small head of green cabbage
- 12-16 soft (6-inch) white corn tortillas (2 per taco)
- 2 limes, cut in wedges for squeezing and serving
- a few sprigs of cilantro, leaves ripped or coarsely chopped for garnish (optional)
- Sliced avocado, for garnish (optional)
- SAUCE: 1/4 cup ranch dressing + 1 T (to taste) Sambal Olek chili paste (I use Huy Fong). Adjust to taste; should be extra spicy as flavor will mellow in taco.
- Some people ask for extra sauce so you may want to double this.
- DRY RUB: (for fish/chicken & veggies): to taste: equal parts dried onions and dried parsley, then add sea salt and (white) pepper, grind up in mortar/pestle, (make ahead of time and save in spice jar).
