Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Marinate the fish
    In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add fish pieces and toss gently to coat. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
  2. Prepare the toppings
    While the fish marinates, prepare all toppings. Dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the red onion, chop the olives, crumble the feta cheese if necessary, and chop the mint leaves. Arrange all toppings in separate small bowls.
  3. Cook the fish
    Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated fish pieces, ensuring they're not overcrowded (cook in batches if necessary). Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Warm the tortillas
    Heat tortillas either directly over a gas flame for 10-15 seconds per side, in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side, or wrapped in damp paper towels in the microwave for 30 seconds. Keep warm by wrapping in a clean kitchen towel.
  5. Assemble the tacos
    Spread a tablespoon of tzatziki sauce on each warm tortilla. Top with several pieces of cooked fish, then add cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta cheese. Sprinkle with fresh mint leaves.
  6. Serve immediately
    Serve tacos immediately with lemon wedges on the side and additional tzatziki sauce if desired. For a complete meal, pair with a simple Greek salad or lemon rice.
