Ingredients
1 lb red snapper
1 Cup pineapple, diced
¼ Cup fresh cilantro, chopped
8 corn tortillas
½ Cup onion, finely chopped
2 Tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Lime wedges, for serving
Salsa, for serving
Instructions
Rinse the red snapper fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Season both sides of the fillets with the Spanglish Asadero Al Pastor seasoning, ensuring an even coating.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned red snapper fillets to the skillet.
Cook the fillets for about 4–5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
In a separate skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat, about 30 seconds on each side, until soft and pliable. Stack on a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep warm.
Flake the cooked red snapper into bite-sized pieces using a fork.
Place a generous portion of the flaked fish onto each corn tortilla.
Top with diced pineapple, chopped cilantro, and finely chopped onion.
Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the fish tacos immediately while the tortillas are still warm, with lime wedges on the side if desired.
