Place the fish in a resealable bag. Pour the marinade into the bag, turning to coat the fish evenly. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Arrange the fish directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook until the fish is opaque and flakes easily when nudged with a fork, 10-15 minutes (no need to flip the fish). During the last 5 minutes of cooking, place the corn tortillas on the grill to warm.
