Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • vegetable oil, as needed
  • 12 boneless rainbow trout fillets, 4 ounces each
  • 3 large onions, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
  • 3 large red bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 3 large green bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 24 (7-inch) flour tortillas
  • 4 cups prepared salsa
  • 3 cups guacamole
  • 3 cups sour cream
  • 24 lime wedges

Directions

  • Combine lime juice, cilantro, garlic, cumin, and 2 tablespoons oil; pour over trout. Cover and marinate, refrigerated, at least 30 minutes. Combine onion and peppers; divide into 12 portions. Wrap individual portions and refrigerate.
  • Per fillet, sauté 1 portion of onion mixture in 2 teaspoons oil until just tender; reserve. Remove 1 trout fillet from marinade; grill or sauté until just done, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Meanwhile, on a very hot griddle, heat 2 tortillas on both sides. Remove and discard trout skin; plate with hot tortillas and reserved onion mixture. Garnish with 1/3 cup salsa, 1/4 cup guacamole, 1/4 cup sour cream, and 2 lime wedges.
