Ingredients:

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt

  1. Put the oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and garlic in the bowl and mix well.
  2. Add the fish and use your clean fingers to coat them with the oil and spice mixture. Set aside. Be sure to wash your hands with soap and water after handling the 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 cook until warm, about 30 seconds on each side. Wrap them in the kitchen towel to keep warm.
