Preheat barbecue to medium-high.
Stir honey with paprika and salt in a small bowl until it forms a paste. Pat fish dry. Rub paste all over flesh of fish.

Barbecue mini tortillas until grill marks appear, about 10 sec per side.
Slide a thin metal spatula between fish skin and flesh, then lift fillet off skin and onto a cutting board.
Cut fish into bite-sized pieces. Serve on grilled tortillas, topped with sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, pineapple and cilantro.
