Swordfish Tacos with Tomatillo Salsa

Recipe
These tacos are guaranteed to deliver the balance of sweet and tart with a little kick from the roasted jalapeño and the creaminess of the avocado makes this tomatillo salsa the perfect match for the swordfish. The biggest taco mistake you can make is forgetting to heat up the tortillas before serving. Heat them for a few minutes on the stovetop or in the oven before serving. I heat them directly on the stovetop flame, flipping them 4-6 times.
