Directions
For tacos:
In a large bowl mix ground, dried chilies, oil, pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, cayenne, cumin, cloves, and bay leaf.
Rinse fish and pat dry. Add to bowl and turn to coat with marinade; cover and chill at least 1 hour or up to 1 day, mixing several times.
For cilantro-jalapeno mayonnaise:
In a blender or food processor, combine
1-3/4 cups mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons water, 2 tablespoons gf vinegar, 1 rinsed and stemmed fresh jalapeño chili (remove seeds for less heat), 1 peeled garlic clove, 1/2 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Whirl until smooth. Add salt to taste.
For pico de gallo:
In a bowl, combine all ingredients. Salt to taste.
In a heavy skillet heat tortillas one at a time over medium-high heat. Keep warm by wrapping in foil.
Lift fish from marinade, and arrange pieces in a single layer in a 9x13 inch pan. Discard marinade.
Broil fish 4-5 inches from heat until opaque but still moist-looking in center of thickest part (cut to test). About 5 minutes for 1/2 inch thick pieces.
With a slotted spatula, transfer fish to towels to blot oil, then set on a platter. Cut fish along the grain into 1/2 inch slices and season to taste with salt.
To assemble tacos:
Spread a layer of cilantro-jalapeno mayonnaise on a heated tortilla, top with fish, cabbage and pico de gallo. Enjoy! |

Tips
This recipe takes a bit of prep, but is well worth the effort. Instead of broiling the fish you can grill it, if you prefer.
You will need mayonnaise for this recipe. Our mayonnaise recipe can be found in October 2000 issue, under Salsas, Marinades & Sauces, or you can use Best Foods Mayonnaise, which is gluten-free. |
