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
- In a bowl, combine the mackerel fillets and sweet chili sauce, ensuring each fillet is well-coated. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (204°C).
- While the grill preheats, brush the mackerel fillets with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with garlic powder.
- 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.
- Using tongs, warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 1 minute per side until pliable and slightly charred.
- 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.
- Before serving, squeeze fresh lime juice over each taco for added zest.
