Instructions

Step 1

MAKE THE SPICY MAYO: In a bowl, stir together the mayo and Sriracha until smooth.

Step 2

COOK THE FISH: In a bowl, combine the chili powder, garlic, salt, pepper, and 1½ tablespoons of the oil. Rub the spice mixture all over the fish. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1½ tablespoons oil and when the oil just starts to smoke, add the fish in one layer and cook until slightly charred, 3 minutes per side. Remove from the heat, cool, and flake the fish.

Step 3

ASSEMBLE THE TACOS: Warm the tortillas, two by two, in a dry skillet set over medium heat, flipping after a few seconds. Stack the hot tortillas to keep them warm.

Step 4

Spread 1 tablespoon of the spicy mayo on each tortilla, then top with some fish. Top each taco with some cabbage, tomato, radish, and scallion. Then top each taco with avocado. Drizzle with some of Pepper’s hot green pepper sauce. Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
