Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes, turning the bag occasionally. Drain fish, discarding ay marinade. Measure thickness of fish. Stack tortillas and wrap in foil.
- Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry. Place fish in a resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish.
- For a charcoal grill: Grill fish on the well-greased rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness of fish or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning fish once. Grill tortilla stack on grill rack over heat about 5 minutes or until heated through, turning once. (For a gas grill: Preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place fish and tortilla stack on greased grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.)
- Transfer fish to a cutting board. Using a fork, flake fish into bite-size pieces. Fill warmed tortillas with shredded lettuce, fish pieces and Cherry Salsa. If you like, serve with sour cream. Makes 8 tacos, 4 servings.
