First and foremost, if you live in Houston, go by Cabo's downtown and buy a bottle of their habenero sauce. I cannot emphasize that enough. If you don't, find their website and order it. It is imperitive to serving a good fish taco. Here's how to make the fish: Ingredients: 2 (8 ounce) snapper fillets 1 lemon, rind and juice 1 lime, rind and juice 2 tablespoons cajun seasoning Directions: Place fillets in a resealable bag with juice and rind of lemon and lime. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat grill. Remove fish from bag and season with cajun spices. Grill over a medium heat for 5 to 8 minutes, turning once. Remove from grill when done. The rest is easy. Get Corn tortillas and warm them gently in the oven at 200 while you're grilling the fish. Then you take two corn tortillas, doubly layered, and place a bed of shredded purple raw cabbage (washed, shredded and refridgerated beforehand). Then, after you place the fish on there, garnish with diced onions, cilantro, and the Cabo hot sauce. Your friends will think you're a God afterwards.
