Preparation

Step 1

Light a charcoal fire and let the coals burn until covered with gray ash but still very hot; bank the coals to one side and set the grill grate in place. Or, heat one side of a gas grill to high.

Sprinkle the catfish filets with salt and freshly cracked or freshly ground black pepper. Spray the filets with oil and place on the grill, cooking about 3 minutes per side.

Remove the filets from the grill. Using a sharp knife, cut the filets into bite-sized pieces and place on warm tortillas. Top with a dollop of the habanero mayonnaise and garnish with cilantro leaves and lime zest.
