I have used it to make fish for fish tacos. I sautee it in OO. While
it's in the skillet, I season it with Mexican oregano, cumin, a shake or
two of chili powder and a little fresh lime juice. Flip and season the
other side.

For the tacos, serve in small tortillas (corn is the usual) with
shredded cabbage, crema (Mexican sour cream) and freshly squeezed lime.
If you *have* to turn it into Tex Mex or Border Food, you can put some
pico de gallo on it, too. Personally, I would much rather enjoy all the
fresh flavors then deal with the hot stuff
