Mazatlan Smoked Marlin Tacos Recipes

BREAKFAST TACOS

Steps:

• Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat and add potatoes and peppers and onions. Sprinkle with Taco Seasoning. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until bottom layer of potatoes are browned. Turn potatoes and cook additional 5 to 6 minutes. Beat eggs in large bowl until well mixed. Push potatoes to side of skillet. Add eggs. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally until eggs are no longer wet. Lightly toss with eggs. Sprinkle with cheese and remove from heat. Portion eggs into tortillas and top with salsa and sour cream as desired. Taco Seasoning: Combine all taco seasoning ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well. Store in a small container with a lid.
• Recipe Note: If using diced (Southern style) hash browns, cook an additional 7 to 10 minutes.

GRILLED MARLIN

Steps:

• Season marlin with salt and pepper, rub with olive oil. Grill until they just turn white and are firm.
• Heat oil in a wok until very hot. Saute carrots and red cabbage until just limp, add bok choy, Chinese cabbage and onion, saute until warm but crisp, about 2 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk together vinaigrette ingredients, excluding the olive oil. Slowly add oil in a small stream until the dressing is emulsified. Place vegetables in the center of the plate. Place grilled marlin on top. Drizzle vinaigrette over marlin and around the edge of the plate. Garnish with fresh orange sections.

MAZATLAN SMOKED MARLIN TACOS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat and saute the red peppers, onions and garlic until the onions are translucent and the peppers are tender, about 6 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes and let the mixture cook until it changes color, about 6 minutes.
• Stir in the tomato puree, olives, wine, parsley, capers, black pepper, chipotle chiles, guero chiles, bay leaves, oregano and thyme. Cover and cook until the flavors are well combined, about 6 minutes, and then incorporate the marlin. If it is dry, add a little more wine or water. Remove the bay leaves and oregano and thyme sprigs before serving.
• Shred the cabbage and warm the tortillas in a hot pan. Put the tortillas in a thermal tortilla server to keep warm. Assemble the tacos by placing 4 ounces of the marlin mixture in 2 warm tortillas, one on top of the other one. Top with a substantial amount of shredded cabbage. Garnish with some mayonnaise and lime wedges, if desired. Serve immediately.
