 Directions

From "Mexican Light Cooking, " by Kathi Long (Perigee Books by Putnam).

Halve or quarter the fish filets so they will fit into a medium-sized
saucepan. Combine the chicken broth, jalapeno juice and lime juice. Bring
to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Add the fish pieces and simmer 3
to 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the fish cool in the
liquid for 30 minutes. Remove the fish and pat dry with paper towels. Place
the fish in a medium-size bowl and break into flakes with your fingers or a
fork. Add the scallions and tomato and toss to mix. Season with the salt
and pepper. Arrange 2 tablespoons of the fish filling down the center of
each taco shell. Divide the lettuce among the shells and top each taco with
1 tablespoon tomatillo salsa.
