Ingredients
Pescado a la Talla
- 24oz white fish fillets(such as cod, mahi-mahi, or snapper, about 1-inch thick)
 - 2 tbsp achiote paste
 - 1 tbsp guajillo chile paste(or other mild red chile paste)
 - 2 tbsp lime juice
 - 1 tbsp orange juice
 - 2 pcs garlic(cloves, minced)
 - 1 tbsp olive oil
 - 1/2 tsp salt
 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
 
For Serving
- 12 pcs corn tortillas
 - 1 pc avocado(for avocado crema)
 - 1/2 cup sour cream(or Mexican crema)
 - 1 tbsp lime juice(for avocado crema)
 - 1/4 cup cilantro(fresh, chopped)
 - 1/2 cup pickled red onions
 
Instructions
Prepare the Fish
- In a medium bowl, combine the achiote paste, chile paste, 2 tbsp lime juice, orange juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.
 - Pat the white fish fillets dry with paper towels. Place the fish in a shallow dish and generously coat both sides with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
 
Make the Avocado Crema
- While the fish marinates, prepare the avocado crema. In a small food processor or blender, combine the flesh of one avocado, sour cream, and 1 tbsp lime juice. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with a pinch of salt to taste. Set aside.
 
Cook the Fish and Assemble Tacos
- Preheat a grill or a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking surface.
 - Place the marinated fish fillets on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
 - While the fish cooks, warm the corn tortillas. You can do this on a dry skillet, in the microwave, or wrapped in foil in the oven.
 - Once cooked, gently break the fish into large flakes using a fork or spatula.
 - To assemble the tacos, place a generous portion of flaked fish into each warm corn tortilla. Top with a drizzle of avocado crema, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a spoonful of pickled red onions.

Tips
- Don't over-marinate delicate white fish; 20-30 minutes is usually sufficient for flavor without breaking down the texture.
 - Avoid overcrowding your cooking surface to ensure a good sear on the fish and even cooking.
 - Serve immediately with extra lime wedges and your favorite hot sauce for an added kick.
