- Tortillas

- Red onion, chopped
- Cilantro, chopped

Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: white fish fillets, taco seasoning, tortillas, diced strawberries, cooked corn, chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice.
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
- While the grill or skillet is heating, season the white fish fillets generously with taco seasoning on both sides. Make sure to coat them evenly for maximum flavor.
- Once the grill or skillet is hot, place the seasoned fish fillets on it. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- While the fish is cooking, prepare the strawberry corn salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced strawberries, cooked corn, chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Gently toss the ingredients together until well mixed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the fish is done, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Meanwhile, warm the tortillas on the grill or in a separate skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.
- To assemble the tacos, place a portion of the cooked fish onto each tortilla. Top with a generous scoop of the strawberry corn salsa.
- Optionally, you can add additional toppings such as avocado slices or a drizzle of sour cream for extra flavor.
- Serve the fish tacos immediately, garnished with extra cilantro and lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
Tips
- Choose the Right Fish: Opt for firm white fish like cod, halibut, or tilapia that can withstand grilling without falling apart.
- Seasoning Secrets: Don't be shy with the taco seasoning - ensure a generous, even coating for maximum flavor penetration.
- Temperature Matters: Use a meat thermometer to ensure your fish reaches the safe internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) without overcooking.
- Salsa Prep Tip: Make the strawberry corn salsa just before serving to maintain the freshest, brightest flavors and textures.
- Tortilla Technique: Warm tortillas briefly to make them pliable and enhance their taste - about 30 seconds per side is perfect.
- Serve Immediately: These tacos are best enjoyed fresh off the grill, so time your cooking to serve right away for the ultimate taste experience.
