For the Slaw:
In a large bowl, add marinade, cilantro, cabbage, oranges, red onion, tomato, red bell pepper, jalapeno, salt and pepper. Toss well to coat and set aside to allow flavors to blend.
For the Tacos:
Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove fish from marinade and discard marinade; grill about 5 minutes or just until done. Do not overcook fish. Remove fish from grill and flake with a fork. Place tortillas on the grill for 20 seconds to heat them up. For each taco, place fish, into 2 tortillas and top with slaw.
