CITRUS TACOS

Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Time 10m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (from approximately 1 large lime)
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
1/2 Haas avocado, peeled and pitted
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 oranges
2 bunches watercress, thick stems removed (about 4 cups)
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1 small jicama, peeled and cut into very thin slices

Steps:

Process the lime juice, zest, avocado, salt, and pepper in a mini food processor until smooth. Gradually add the oil until emulsified. Season the dressing, to taste, with additional salt and pepper.
Using a paring knife and working over a large bowl to catch the juice, remove the peel and white pith from the oranges. Cut between the membranes to remove the segments directly into the bowl. Squeeze any excess juice from the membranes directly into the bowl and discard the membranes. Add the watercress and dried cranberries. Toss with the orange juice and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
To serve: Spread 1 side of the jicama slices with a little of the dressing. Using the jicama slices as you would a tortilla, place the watercress salad in the center of each jicama slice and fold to make tacos.
Cook's Note: The dressing can also be made by hand. Use a fork to mash the avocado until smooth and add the lime zest and juice. Whisking constantly, drizzle in the oil until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Tips:

For a crispier fish taco, fry the fish in hot oil until golden brown.
If you don't have any fish tacos, you can use corn or flour tortillas instead.
Be sure to warm the tortillas before filling them. This will make them more pliable and less likely to tear.
Don't overload the tacos with toppings. Too many toppings will make them difficult to eat.
Serve the tacos with your favorite dipping sauce, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

Conclusion:

Citrus fish tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a variety of toppings to choose from, you can customize your tacos to your own liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give citrus fish tacos a try!
