Instructions

1. Put the oil, spices, salt, and garlic in the bowl and mix well.
2. Cut the fish into 1-inch strips, put them in the bowl, and use your clean fingers to coat them with the spice mixture. Set the fish aside. Be sure to wash your hands with soap and water after handling raw fish!
3. Put the skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium. When it is hot, add the tortillas, one at a time, and cooked until warm, about 30 seconds on each side. Wrap them in a dish towel to keep warm.

Notes

DID YOU KNOW?

Cabbage is in the same family as kale, bok choy, broccoli, cauliflower, collards, Brussels sprouts, and radish. They are called cruciferous vegetables because the four petals of their flowers make a cross shape, and cruciferous is Latin for “bearing a cross.”
