Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- 1 cup minced white onion
- 3 jalapeños, minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 poblano or Anaheim chiles, roasted, seeded and chopped roughly
- 4 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 1 pound smoked marlin, or other fish, flaked out
- 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
- salt
- 12 corn tortillas
- 1/2 pound grated Oaxaca cheese, or mozzarella or Chihuahua cheese
Instructions
- Heat the butter in a large sauté pan over medium high heat. Add the onion and jalapenos and cook, stirring often, until the onions brown a little, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, roasted chiles, tomatoes, smoked fish and the oregano and stir to combine. Taste for salt and add some if needed. Drop the heat to low.
- Heat up corn tortillas on a comal or griddle and keep them in a tortillero or wrap them in a kitchen towel to keep them warm.
- To build the tacos, spread the cheese across a tortilla, add some filling and fold over. Set the taco on the hot comal or griddle and press down with a spatula until the cheese melts. Cook each side until you get a little char. Repeat with the remaining tacos.

Notes
- You can keep the finished tacos hot by putting them on a rack set over a baking sheet in a 200°F oven.
