  • 1 avocado (sliced)

Directions:

Add jalapeño peppers, tomatoes, red and orange peppers, cilantro and lime juice. Sauté over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, breaking up the fish with the spoon to get everything mixed well; season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat tortillas on a skillet a few minutes on each side to warm (no oil needed). Serve a little over 1/4 cup of fish on each warmed tortillas with a slice or 2 of avocado, small handful of cabbage, squeeze of lime juice and more cilantro.
