Grilled Fish or chicken Tacos

Grilled Fish Tacos (Body for life recipe)

Servings: 4
Prep time: 35 min.

1 Tbsp olive oil
4 limes, halved, divided
5 cloves garlic, minced, divided
2 tsp ground cumin, divided
4 portions swordfish or tuna (about 1 1/2 lbs) -- I used chicken instead
1 ripe avocado , peeled, pitted, and diced
1/4 red onion, minced
2 jalapenos, seeded and minced
2 Tbs fresh cilantro, chopped
8 flour tortillas
8 lettuce leaves

1. preheat grill
2. combine olive oil, juice of 3 limes, 4 garlic cloves, and 1 tsp cumin (I didn't use this) in a shallow pie plate.  Then add meat and marinade for about 15 minutes.
3. In a separate small bowl, stir together the remaining lime juice, garlic and cumin, with diced avocado, onion, jalapenos and cilantro.  -- I didn't have all the ing. on hand so I left out the cumin, onion, jalapenos, and cilantro and it still tasted good. I added tomatoes to this too.  This is your avocado salsa!
4. Grill marinated meat and cut into small strips.
5. warm tortillas and add meat, avocado salsa, and lettuce (I used lettuce SHREDS and they were delicious!)  
I loved this recipe!  It was really easy to make and the flavor was awesome!
