1
Put the onion and jalapeno in the bottom of a nonstick skillet (or, if you prefer, a microwave-safe casserole).
2
Add a tablespoon of water and top with the fish; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3
Cover the skillet (or casserole) and put the pan over medium heat (or the casserole in the microwave).
4
Cook for about 6 minutes (3 for the microwave), or until the fish is done.
5
While the fish is cooking, heat the tortillas.
6
You can dry-toast them in a skillet, one at a time; just flip once or twice over medium heat until hot, a minute or so.
7
Or heat them in a microwave: wrap half a dozen in a just slightly damp towel and nuke for about a minute.
8
To serve, put a portion of fish (along with a bit of its onion and jalapeno), salsa, and, if you like, hot sauce, sour cream or cheese, and/or vegetables in a warm tortilla.
