Ingredients

• 1 pound mackerel fillets
• 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 8 small corn tortillas
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1/2 cup tomatoes, diced
• 1/2 cup avocado, sliced
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 whole lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine the mackerel fillets and sweet chili sauce, ensuring each fillet is well-coated. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
2. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (204°C).
3. While the grill preheats, brush the mackerel fillets with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with garlic powder.
4. Once the grill is hot, place the mackerel fillets on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
5. Using tongs, warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 1 minute per side until pliable and slightly charred.
6. Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of grilled mackerel in each tortilla, then top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream.
7. Before serving, squeeze fresh lime juice over each taco for added zest.
