FISH TACOS

Steps:

• For the pico de "guyo": Remove the thin outer layers of the onion and chop into 1/8- by 1/8-inch pieces. Chop the jalapeno in half and remove the seeds and inner membrane (use gloves when handling the jalapeno). Dice the jalapeno into small pieces. Cut the tomatoes into 1/8- by 1/8-inch pieces. Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice into the mix. Add the salt and pepper. Let all the ingredients sit and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
• For the cilantro lime sauce: Mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, cilantro, lime juice, garlic powder and onion powder together and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
• For the corn tortillas: Place the corn flour in a mixing bowl. Add the salt and pepper. Slowly add the water while mixing the dough with your hands until it becomes a tad bit softer than a "play dough" consistency. Break off the dough into twenty-four 1/4-inch round balls. Flatten the dough using a tortilla press that has been lined with a ziptop bag on each side. Remove the dough and place directly onto a skillet that has been lightly oiled and heated to 350 degrees F. When you notice the dough just beginning to show stress cracks, about 3 minutes, flip it and cook an additional 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stack with paper towels in between each tortilla.
• For the blackening seasoning: Combine the oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper and white pepper in a bowl and mix together.
• For the fish: Cut your fresh fish into small cubes about 1/4- by 1/4-inch. Sprinkle liberally with 1/2 tablespoon of the blackening seasoning. Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the fish to the pan and saute for 1 minute. Add the garlic to the pan and continue to saute for about 45 more seconds. Add the wine and cilantro. Finish cooking about 1 more minute.
• Reheat the tortillas if necessary, remove from the heat and add some lettuce, cooked fish, cilantro lime sauce and pico de "guyo". Serve 3 per plate. Enjoy!

TUNA TACOS

Steps:

• For the ginger pickled carrots: Combine the sugar, vinegar and 2 cups water in a pot and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Pour into a plastic container and let cool completely.
• Once cooled, add the carrots and ginger to the pickling liquid¿make sure they are completely covered by the liquid. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours before using (24 hours is best).
• For the sweet potato puree: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pierce the skins of the sweet potatoes and bake until tender, about 45 minutes. (Leave the oven on for heating up the tortillas.)
• Once cooked, cut the sweet potatoes in half and scoop the flesh into a food processor. Add the butter and honey and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Hold hot until ready to plate.
• For the tuna: Combine the Cajun seasoning and salt, and mix. Sprinkle the tuna pieces with the spice mixture. Heat a large saute pan over high heat until the pan begins to smoke. Add the grapeseed oil to the pan and then sear the tuna on two sides, leaving it rare in the center. Remove the tuna from the pan and let rest for 5 minutes.
• For the guacamole: Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl. Add the red onions, tomatoes, cilantro and lime juice, and mash with a fork to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• To build the taco: Heat the tortillas in the oven just until warm, not crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the sweet potato puree onto each tortilla. Add a piece of tuna, then top with about 1 ounce of the pickled carrots and 1 tablespoon of the guacamole. Garnish with two sprigs of cilantro and serve.

CABO WABO FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Mix together lime juice, tequila, mexican oregano, minced garlic, onion powder, ground cumin, and 1 tablespoon of fresh cilantro in a small bowl.
• Place tuna fillet in a ziploc bag and pour marinade over fish.
• Remove excess air from bag and seal.
• Refrigerate for one hour, while you prepare your grill.
• Prepare grill by spraying grill surface with non-stick cooking spray BEFORE applying heat.
• Over medium-hot grill (gas, charcoal, electric) cook tuna, turning once, until cooked through (you may just cook on exterior if you prefer).
• (The cooking time will depend upon the thickness of your fillet; tuna can be eaten rare. I suggest a fillet that is slightly pink in the center so it flakes easily without being overdone. Do not overcook your fillet, however.) Set aside.
• Briefly heat corn tortillas carefully on grill.
• Do not overcook, or they will get hard.
• Break tuna into small chunks or shredded pieces and place about 1 1/2 ounces on a double layer of corn tortilla for each taco.
• Add shredded cabbage and chopped cilantro and squeeze a wedge of lime over the taco contents.
• If you wish a spicier taste, add the chilies.
• Serve.

• Set oven control to broil. Spray broiler pan rack with cooking spray. Brush lime juice over fish steaks. Place fish on rack in broiler pan.
• Broil with tops about 4 inches from heat 5 minutes; turn. Broil 5 to 8 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with fork.
• Break fish into large flakes or cut into 1-inch cubes. Spoon scant 1/2 cup fish into each tortilla. Top with lettuce, bell pepper and onion. Serve with chile sauce.

SPICE-CURED TUNA TACOS

Steps:

• Slice the tuna into 1cm strips, then dice into rough 1cm cubes. Drizzle over the olive oil and scatter over the lime zest, stir and put in the fridge for 20 mins or so. Gently toast the cumin and coriander in a small frying pan, then tip into a pestle and mortar with a pinch of salt and the chilli flakes and crush to a coarse powder. Stir the spice mix into the tuna with the lime juice and put the bowl back in the fridge for at least 10 mins or up to 1 hr.
• To make the avocado purée, put all the ingredients in a food processor with a pinch of salt and blitz until you have a smooth purée, adding a little oil if it's too thick to blitz. Spoon the mixture into a container.
• If you like your tacos crispy, heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4, brush them with a little oil, place on a baking sheet and cook for 10-15 mins. To build each taco, spoon on some avocado purée and spread out to the edge. Spoon on the spiced tuna and sprinkle over the chillies, pomegranate seeds, coriander and spring onions, drizzle with more oil and add a lime wedge to the plate. Eat with your hands, if soft, or a knife and fork if crispy.
