Mojito Grilled Fish Tacos

Who knew that combining mojito fish tacos and strawberries would make such a great combo. Thanks to Kevin Lynch of the Closet Cooking blog, we found out!

This is how Kevin came up with this idea. “After enjoying snacking on the strawberry and avocado salsa, I knew that I wanted to try using it in something interesting. Tacos came to mind.”

It was after enjoying a strawberry mojito that it clicked for Kevin. Mojito grilled fish tacos with a Florida strawberry and avocado salsa, the perfect combination of bright fun flavors! You’re going to love this healthy and delicious dish.

Mojito Grilled Fish Tacos with Strawberry Salsa

• 1 pound white fish such as tilapia, cod, etc.
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 lime, juice and zest
• 2 tablespoons rum (optional)
• 1 jalapeño, finely diced
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 1 green onion, finely sliced
• 1 handful mint, chopped
• 1 handful cilantro, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin, toasted and ground
• salt and pepper to taste
• 8 (4 inch) tortillas
• 2 cups strawberry and avocado salsa (see separate recipe post)
• 1/2 cup queso fresco or feta, crumbled
• 1 handful cilantro

Marinate the fish in the oil, lime juice and zest, rum, jalapeño, garlic, green onion, mint, cumin, salt and pepper for 10-20 minutes.

Grill the fish over medium-high heat until cooked, about 4-6 minutes per side. The fish will be cooked when it flakes easily and it is no longer translucent.

Flake the fish and serve in tortillas garnished with strawberry and avocado salsa, crumbled cheese and cilantro; or top with your favorite taco topping.
