Ingredients
- 2 pounds fish fillets grilled or cooked
- 12 whole corn tortillas
- 3 tablespoons bacon grease
- 1/2 head lettuce
- 6 whole Roma tomatoes chopped
- 4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese shredded
- 4 ounces cheddar cheese shredded
- 6 whole green onions chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro optional
- 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce
Instructions
- First, grill the fish fillets; or cook it however you choose.
- Prep all your fresh ingredients. Wash and chop the lettuce, tomatoes, and green onions. Also, shred the cheese.
- Fry up a batch of corn tortillas to form taco shells. You can use bacon grease or canola oil.
- Once the fish is fully cooked, taco shells are done, and fresh ingredients are prepped, you’re ready to start the process of layering. You can layer ingredients in any order you want.
- Add the fish into the taco shell first, then the cheese.
- Layer lettuce, a layer of tomatoes, green onions, and whatever else your heart desires.
- Add a dollop of tzatziki sauce or sour cream to top them off.
Notes
You can use canola oil in place of bacon grease.
And you can also substitute sour cream for the tzatziki sauce.
When it comes to layering, I actually really love layering starting with the sauce first (so there's sauce in every bite), then the fish, the cheese so it gets a little melty on the hot meat, then all the rest of the layers.
