Instructions:
Prepare the fish:

- Transfer the cooked fish to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Let them cool slightly, then break them into smaller pieces.
Warm the tortillas:
- Heat a separate skillet or griddle over medium heat. Warm the tortillas on each side for about 30 seconds until they become pliable. Wrap them in a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm.

Assemble the fish tacos:

- Place some pieces of the cooked fish on the bed of lettuce or cabbage.
- Garnish with sliced avocado, fresh cilantro leaves, and a squeeze of lime juice.
Serve and enjoy:
