10Stir well to combine and set aside.
-
11Heat the grill or preheat oven to 450 degrees.
-
12In another skillet, heat vegetable oil until hot, but not smoking.
-
13Using tongs, dip each tortilla in the oil, and cook for about 30 seconds each side.
-
14Drain on a paper towel.
-
15Season fish fillet with salt and pepper.
-
16On tin foil, arrange 3 tortillas so they overlap in the center to form a triangle.
