Ingredients

1 pound halibut fillets, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup diced red onion
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
8-10 corn tortillas
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup shredded queso fresco, crumbled

Method

1Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F, and brush the grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
2Season the halibut pieces with cumin, salt, and pepper, then grill for 3-4 minutes per side, until cooked through and flaky.
3Meanwhile, warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds.
4In a small bowl, mix together the lime juice, chopped cilantro, diced red onion, and chopped jalapeño, stirring to combine.
5In a separate pan, scramble the beaten eggs over medium heat, breaking them up with a spatula as they cook, until just set.
6Assemble the tacos by placing a piece of grilled halibut onto a warmed tortilla, followed by a spoonful of the scrambled eggs, a sprinkle of queso fresco, and a spoonful of the lime and cilantro mixture.
7Serve the tacos immediately, with any remaining lime and cilantro mixture spooned over the top.
8Garnish with additional cilantro, if desired, and serve with your favorite breakfast beverage.
9Grill an extra slice of halibut to chop and add to the taco mixture, for an extra boost of flavor and texture.
10Fold the tortillas in half to enclose the filling, and serve with a side of your favorite salsa or hot sauce.
