How to Make Al Pastor Fish Tacos
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 1 lb white fish fillets (cut into 1-inch strips), 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1/2 cup chopped pineapple, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp lime juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp oregano, and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional).
- Pour the marinade over the fish mixture, ensuring all the fish is coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (longer is better!).
- Spread the marinated fish in a single layer in a baking dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Warm corn or flour tortillas according to package directions.
- Fill each tortilla with the baked fish.
- Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, red onion slices, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
