• 8 corn tortillas

Instructions

For the Watermelon Salsa

1. Mix the red onion, watermelon, lime juice, jalapeno, and cilantro in a bowl. Use gloves as you handle the jalapeno pepper as it might cause your hands to sting.
2. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and ½ teaspoon of salt and set aside.

For the Tacos

1. Preheat your grill to high. Sprinkle the Chile powder, remaining olive oil, and ½ tsp of salt on both sides of the fish.
2. Brush the grill with some olive oil.
3. Place the fish on the grill and grill until the pieces are cooked through (for approximately 5 minutes per side).
4. Put the fillets on a plate. You can chop them into small pieces.
5. In a small bowl, mix the lettuce with 2 tbsp of the watermelon salsa.
6. Warm the tortillas and fill them with fish, avocado, lettuce, and watermelon salsa.
7. Serve with the lime wedges.
