- Warm the tortillas in a pan over medium heat for about 30 seconds each side.
- Assemble the tacos by adding a piece of grilled fish on a tortilla, topping with avocado salsa, shredded lettuce, and sliced jalapeños. Sprinkle with feta cheese if desired.
Notes
Try adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice to enhance flavors. For a spicier kick, add more jalapeño slices.
