4 barramundi fillets, skinless (cut into 1-inch strips)
2 tablespoons Chile Powder
1/2 teaspoons Cumin Powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1 Medium Red Onion (cut into medium slices)
2 Cloves Garlic (minced)
2 Jalapeno Peppers (cut into medium slices)
2 tablespoons Peanut Oil
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
10 Yellow Corn Tortillas
1 (Peanut oil as needed for tortillas)
1 cup Monterey Jack and/or Mild Cheddar Cheese (grated)

Steps:

Combine chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper together in a small bowl, coat the Barramundi strips in the spices
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear veggies using half the oil in a heavy skillet for about 4 minutes (softened but not wilted). Remove from pan and keep warm.
Add remainder of oil to pan and place fish strips down. Cook about 2 minutes.
Flip the fish once with a spatula, trying not to break it too much. Cook one additional minute.
Add veggies to the fish, gently mix and remove from heat.
In a clean pan over low heat put a few drops of oil, add a tortilla and gently move around with fingers, flip and repeat, until warmed and softened, about 1 minute. Stack warmed tortillas on a plate and cover with clean dish towel to keep warm.
