For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lime juice over the fish filling before topping with cheese. Feel free to customize the heat level by adjusting the amount of jalapeño used. Remove the seeds and membranes for a milder flavor. Serve with your favorite taco toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.

Follow The Directions
01
StepSauté the Aromatics: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced onion, red bell pepper strips, jalapeño, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened slightly, about 4 minutes. Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a plate and set aside.
02
StepSpice-Kissed Swai: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same pan. Introduce the cubed swai fish and cook, stirring gently, for approximately 2 minutes. Incorporate the chili powder, sea salt, ground cumin, and black pepper. Continue cooking and stirring until the fish is opaque in the center and flakes easily, about 1-2 minutes.
03
StepMarry the Flavors: Return the sautéed vegetables to the pan with the spiced swai. Cook, stirring, until everything is heated through and the flavors have melded together beautifully, about 1 minute.
04
StepAssemble and Serve: Divide the flavorful fish and vegetable mixture evenly among the warmed corn tortillas. Sprinkle generously with shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy!
