Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine the tequila with the lime zest and juice, 2 tablespoons of the oil, the Old Bay seasoning, and the chili powder. Coat the fish in the dressing and heat a grill pan or outdoor grill.

    Step 2

    While the grill heats, add the remaining tablespoon of oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onions and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes to begin to soften, then add the chopped tomatillos, cumin, and jalapeños. Season with salt and pepper, and cook to soften, 6 to 7 minutes more. Put the tomatillo mixture in the food processor with the flesh of the avocado, lemon juice and zest, and honey. Process until a thick salsa forms. Transfer to a bowl.

    Step 3

    Spray the grill with cooking spray and cook the fish for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Place the soft tortillas over an open flame on a stove burner or grill to soften and char.

    Step 4

    Wrap the fish, cabbage, and salsa inside the tortillas and serve.
