Equipment

  • aluminum foil
  • skewers
  • grill pan

Directions

  1. Very thinly slice onion crosswise into rings with slicer. Set slicer aside.
  2. Heat vinegar, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small heavy nonreactive saucepan until sugar has dissolved.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in onion, then let stand until ready to use (about 25 minutes).
  4. Meanwhile, stir 1/4 cup lime juice together with cilantro, oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Add fish and toss to coat, then marinate at room temperature 15 minutes.
  6. Whisk together mayonnaise, crema, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 3 tablespoons lime juice to make sauce.
  7. Preheat a gas grill with burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to medium-high.
  8. Thread each piece of fish onto a skewer (discard marinade). Wrap exposed part of each skewer in heavy-duty foil to protect it from charring.
  9. Wrap tortillas in 2 foil packages and warm on grill, turning once, about 3 minutes total.
  10. Oil grill rack, then grill fish, covered, turning once, until opaque and just cooked through (for mahimahi), about 6 minutes total; or until just pink in center (for tuna), about 4 minutes.
  11. Very thinly slice radishes with slicer. Halve, pit, and peel avocados, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
  12. Drain onions.
  13. Serve fish with tortillas, crema sauce, onions, and remaining toppings.
  14. Cooks' note
  15. If you aren't able to grill outdoors, cook fish in a lightly oiled large (2-burner) ridged grill pan. Warm tortillas in foil packages in grill pan 2 to 3 minutes or in a 300°F oven 10 minutes.
