Charred Spiced Bonito Tacos
1 lb. bonito, mackerel, or yellowfin tuna fillet, cut into 2- by 4- by 1-inch strips
2 Tbsp.freshly squeezed lime juice,
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for oiling grill
2 Tbsp. chipotle rub
2 Tbsp. diced radish
2 Tbsp. very thinly sliced scallion, white and green parts
charred tomato mint salsa
8 small tortillas, heated

Light the grill. In a medium-sized, nonreactive bowl, toss the fish with lime juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, and Chipotle Rub. Cover, refrigerate, and let marinate about 1 hour.

Oil grill and cook fish over a hot fire until lightly charred and medium-rare (it should still be pink in the middle), about 3 minutes.
In a warm bowl (so fish does not cool too much), shred fish. Taste for seasoning and sprinkle with a little more Chipotle Rub and lime juice, if needed.

Top with radish and scallion and serve warm with salsa and tortillas.
Serves 4.
