Method
 

  1. Crema Sauce - See the recipe above. Mix all together and if possible, let sit in the fridge for a few hours for the flavors to come together.
  2. Cut the fish in to 1 inch wide pieces.
  3. Sprinkle the fish with cumin and chili powder
  4. Cook a few minutes (2-3) on each side in a hot cast iron skillet. Flip halfway through. Be gentle or the pieces will break apart.
  5. While the fish is cooking, warm up the tortillas in the oven or according to the package directions. Wrap in a towel or aluminum foil to keep warm.
  6. Set out your toppings and enjoy.
