With the help of scissors, clean the stems, seeds, and veins of the San Marcos® chipotle chiles, San Marcos® pasilla chiles, San Marcos® ancho chiles, San Marcos® guajillo chiles, and San Marcos® árbol chiles. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and then fry for 5 minutes the cleaned chiles, tomatillos, onion, and garlic; add the orange juice and cook for 5 more minutes, for a total cooking time of 10 minutes. Blend the chiles (San Marcos® chipotle chiles, San Marcos® pasilla chiles, San Marcos® ancho chiles, San Marcos® guajillo chiles, San Marcos® árbol chiles) with oregano, cumin, bay leaf, and allspice, season with salt. To assemble the mixiote, place the banana leaf over a square cut piece of wax paper; add an avocado leaf, 2 fish fillets, season with salt and pepper, and add the adobo you made, the nopales, and close. Cook in a steamer for 20 minutes. Serve and accompany with tortillas.
