Grilled fish and guacamole with extra lime and extra salt—all wrapped in a soft taco. Ready for Taco Any Day.

  • 4 medium avocados
  • 1/3 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1/3 cup red onion, diced
  • 1 medium jalapeno, seeds included or excluded for less spice (optional)
  • 3 limes, halved and divided
  • 2.5-3.5 tsp salt, divided
  • 1 lb halibut, or similar white fish
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 4 soft tacos

Step 1

Prepare the guacamole. Chop the avocados roughly, and add them to a medium bowl. Squeeze 1 lime over the avocados. Use a spoon or vegetable masher to mash the avocado. Add the cilantro, red onion, jalapeño and 1 tsp salt. Taste for salt and add another tsp to taste. Set aside.


Step 2

Prepare the fish. Squeeze another lime over the raw fish. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt. Heat a grill pan over high heat. Add the avocado oil and spread it around. Once the pan is super hot, add the fish. Grill 5-6 minutes per side, until flesh is opaque and flakes easily. Remove from heat to a plate. 


Step 3

Heat the tacos according to package instructions. Add guacamole and fish to each taco. Squeeze the final lime and 1 tsp salt over the tacos, and serve hot!
