Tacos Del Mar Colmenares Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat; add the peppers, onions, and garlic; saute them until they are tender and just starting to brown, 5-8 minutes.
• Stir in the tomatoes with their liquid and the cumin and bring the mixture to a low boil.
• Place the fish on top of the mixture, sprinkle it with the lime juice, and season it with salt and pepper.
• Cover, reducing the heat enough to keep the sauce simmering, and cook it for 15 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flakes very easily.
• Pull the fish apart into chunks and serve, using a slotted spoon, so the tacos don't get too drippy.
• Serve fish in taco shells, with your favorite taco add-ins such as guacamole, shredded Cheddar, sour cream, chopped lettuce, etc.

Steps:

• Warm tortillas, covered. In a medium bowl marinade for 1-3 hours the shrimp, scallops and fish (with liquids) with lime juice, half of the olive oil, garlic, onion, cilantro and red pepper flakes. With large skillet over medium heat add remaining olive oil. Add marinating ingredients to skillet; cook until done, 3-4 minutes. Add shredded cheeses. Dish into warm tortillas and serve.

Steps:

• Trim any thick fat from surface of pork. Cut meat into 1-inch cubes, discarding any that are pure fat. Put pork in a large pot. Add enough water to cover by 2 inches, orange zest, garlic, chopped onion, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, bay leaves, oregano, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and the cloves.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Skim off any scum that forms on surface. Simmer uncovered for 1 1/2 hours, until pork is very soft; add water if necessary to keep meat submerged. Season with salt, then continue to cook until water has evaporated, about 30 minutes. Cook a little longer to fry meat slightly; cook even longer if you prefer crisper meat. Stir often and add a bit of water if meat sticks or seems about to burn.
• Remove bay leaves and cinnamon stick. Spoon a few tablespoons of carnitas onto each tortilla. Top each taco with cilantro, finely chopped onion and salsa. Serve.
