Ingredients

Directions

Special equipment:
thermal tortilla server
  1. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat and saute the red peppers, onions and garlic until the onions are translucent and the peppers are tender, about 6 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes and let the mixture cook until it changes color, about 6 minutes.
  2. Stir in the tomato puree, olives, wine, parsley, capers, black pepper, chipotle chiles, guero chiles, bay leaves, oregano and thyme. Cover and cook until the flavors are well combined, about 6 minutes, and then incorporate the marlin. If it is dry, add a little more wine or water. Remove the bay leaves and oregano and thyme sprigs before serving.
  3. Shred the cabbage and warm the tortillas in a hot pan. Put the tortillas in a thermal tortilla server to keep warm. Assemble the tacos by placing 4 ounces of the marlin mixture in 2 warm tortillas, one on top of the other one. Top with a substantial amount of shredded cabbage. Garnish with some mayonnaise and lime wedges, if desired. Serve immediately.
