Instructies
- Season the fish with the garlic, oregano, and salt.
- Heat the oil in a medium skillet, over medium-high heat, and sauté the fish on both sides until just opaque inside, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fish.
- Using a fork, flake the fish and put in a bowl.
- When the fish is cool, add the tomato, onion, garlic, serrano chile, lime juice, and cilantro.
- Toss gently to mix.
- Heat 1 tortilla, turning once or twice, on a hot griddle or dry skillet until soft, about 15 seconds.
- Put the tortilla on a plate, and spoon about ⅛ of the fish mixture along the lower third of the tortilla.
- Roll into a tight cylinder and secure with wooden toothpicks.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and fish.
- In a clean skillet, heat oil to a depth of ¼ inch in the pan.
- Fry 2 or 3 tacos at a time until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Drain on paper towels, remove the toothpicks, and serve hot.
