Season both sides of fish with salt and pepper and place on pre-heated grill. Grill fish for 1 & ½ minutes each side or until cooked thoroughly. Remove fish from grill. Pre-Heat a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat and add the Jefferson Bourbon. When the flames subside, meaning the alcohol is cooked off, add butter to the pan and then add the fish to the butter and bourbon mixture, coating the fish completely, then quickly remove fish from pan. Lightly grill the tortilla shells until warm. Place warm tortilla shells on plate and fill with 2 fish fingers, 1 oz lettuce, 1 oz Pico de Gallo and drizzle with Chipolte Aioli. Repeat the same for each taco and serve.
