My daughters don’t usually eat fish, but they can’t resist it when I make it this way.

Steps

1 hour

1

Finely chop the onion, cilantro, and pineapple separately.
2

Fry the fish fillets, breaking them up as they cook, and let them brown.
3

In a saucepan over low heat, simmer the cumin, bay leaves, black pepper, cloves, oregano, and chiles in the cup of water until the chiles are soft, about 10 minutes. Transfer everything to a blender, add the salt, garlic cloves, onion, and vinegar, and blend until smooth.
4

Pour the adobo sauce over the fish (no need to strain it). Once the fish is well coated, add the chopped pineapple.
5

Heat the tortillas in a little oil if you like, or just warm them up as you prefer.
6

Enjoy! Like any taco, top with onion, cilantro, lime, and your favorite salsa. I recommend the classic taquera salsa with tomato, árbol, and guajillo chiles, but use whatever you like best.
