Instructions
Prepare the Fish
- 1In 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.
- 2Pat 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
- 1While 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
- 1Preheat a grill or a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking surface.
- 2Place 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.
- 3While 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.
- 4Once cooked, gently break the fish into large flakes using a fork or spatula.
- 5To 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.
