1 pound salmon, skinned and cut into cubes (I used shrimp)
1 rounded T cumin
1 rounded t chili powder
2 T+ olive oil for sautéing
1 medium yellow onion, chopped (I used white onion)
1-2 limes, quartered
1- 8 ounce can chopped tomatoes, drained
1 can chopped green chilies, drained
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1-1/2 T chicken soup base
Toppings:
Avocado
Chopped lettuce
Sour cream
Directions:
Toss cubed salmon in cumin and chili powder. Set aside for at least an hour. (I seasoned for 4 hours)
Chop onions, cilantro, and chilies (I had chopped chilis)
Heat oil over medium heat and cook onion until it softens.
Turn heat up to medium high. Add salmon to skillet. Lightly sear salmon cubes for about 2-3 minutes, turning gently (don't break the salmon into pieces!). (The shrimp took longer)
Return heat setting to medium. Add canned tomatoes and chilies, cilantro, green onions, and soup base. Gently incorporate and heat through.
I seasoned the shrimp all afternoon. I like a little kick so I used more cumin and chili powder.
I didn't completely drain the tomatoes and chilis. I like a little sauce in my tacos.
I skipped the chopped lettuce. Why take up room with lettuce when you can have more shrimp?
I added a can of chopped black olives. I could also see adding corn.
Serve:
Squeeze quartered limes over the salmon mixture.
Serve with fresh warm flour tortillas, sour cream, sliced avocado, and chopped romaine lettuce.

You could easily make this with chicken, any kind of fish, and even steak. So delicious.
