Ingredients
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 3 red bell peppers, seeded and chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 pounds tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups canned tomato puree
- 1 cup pimento-stuffed olives
- 1 cup white wine, plus extra if needed
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 3 tablespoons capers, chopped
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
- 3 guero chiles (yellow peppers), chopped
- 2 dried bay leaves
- 1 sprig fresh oregano
- 1/2 sprig fresh thyme
- 4 pounds smoked marlin, shredded
- 1 green cabbage
- 48 corn tortillas
- 1 cup mayonnaise, for serving
- 6 limes, for serving
Special equipment: Thermal tortilla server to keep tortillas warm
Instructions
- Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saut the red peppers, onions, and garlic until the onions become translucent and the peppers soften, about 6 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until the mixture changes color, roughly 6 more minutes.
- Mix in the tomato puree, olives, white wine, parsley, capers, black pepper, chipotle chiles, guero chiles, bay leaves, oregano, and thyme. Cover and simmer for about 6 minutes to let the flavors merge. Then fold in the shredded smoked marlin. If the mixture seems dry, add a bit more wine or some water. Before serving, remove the bay leaves and herb sprigs.
- Shred the cabbage. Warm the corn tortillas in a hot pan, then place them inside a thermal tortilla server to keep them hot. Build the tacos by placing 4 ounces of the marlin mixture into two tortillas stacked together. Add a generous heap of shredded cabbage on top. Optionally garnish with mayonnaise and lime wedges. Serve right away.
