Made ths last night with Tilapia fillets and left out the serranos and the jalepenos. Only Tequila on hand was Centenario Gran Anejo so used it.   Refrigerated the salsa for several hours.  Rinsed the fillets, patted dry and rubbed with lemon pepper and 1 grind of sea salt and let sit in the ‘fridge for about 1/2 hour.  Coated both sides of the filletes with Costco Tuscan EVOO and grilled on a grilled pan on an infrared gias grill for about 3 -4 minutes a side.  Had romaine so we used it on coconut taco shelss.

My wife declared it the best fish tacos she has had anywhere including Mexico, Baja California and LA.

The tequila and lime flavors mixed with the vegetables in the salsa were incredibly rich!
