Ingredients

• 4 pieces Halibut fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 8 pieces Corn tortillas
• 4 pieces Roma tomatoes
• 1 piece Jalapeño pepper
• 0.5 pieces Red onion
• 0.25 cups Cilantro leaves
• 2 tablespoons Tequila
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 piece Avocado
• 1 cup Shredded cabbage
• 0.5 cup Sour cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, garlic powder, ground cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Brush the marinade onto the halibut fillets and let them sit for 10 minutes while your grill heats up.

Step 4

Place the Roma tomatoes, jalapeño pepper, and half of a red onion on a baking sheet. Roast them on the grill for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until charred and softened.

Step 5

Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender. Add cilantro, 2 tablespoons tequila, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 0.5 teaspoons salt. Blend until smooth to create the salsa.

Step 6

Grill the marinated halibut fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.

Step 8

Slice the halibut into bite-sized pieces and assemble the tacos by layering fish, roasted tomato tequila salsa, avocado slices, shredded cabbage, and a dollop of sour cream on each tortilla.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy!
