Directions
Prepare the Pineapple Slaw
In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, diced pineapple chunks, diced red bell pepper, and chopped cilantro.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and lime juice until well combined.
Pour the mayo-lime mixture over the slaw and toss to coat.Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Set aside to let the flavors meld while you prepare the grouper.
Cook the Grouper
Pat the grouper fillets dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, and lime juice to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade over both sides of the grouper fillets.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a bit more olive oil if necessary.
Once the skillet is hot, add the grouper fillets.Cook the fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from heat and let rest for a minute before flaking the fish into bite-sized pieces.
Assemble the Tacos
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or directly over a gas flame until soft and pliable.
Divide the flaked grouper evenly among the tortillas. Top each taco with a generous portion of pineapple slaw.
Add a few jalapeƱo slices for extra heat, if desired.
Sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
