Fish Tacos

This recipe is another Saturday Morning Cartoon find from The Food Network. Of course this is my slight adaptation. 

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime lime
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • (I usually add 1 T. chipotle chili pepper flakes)
  • 1 pound white flaky fish fillet, like tilapia, halibut or mahimahi
  • 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons chipotle pepper, in adobo sauce
  • 8 fresh tortillas from De Leon! or just regular tortillas your choice flour or corn
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • Lime wedges
In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lime juice, salt and pepper. Pour over the fish fillets and let marinate for 20 minutes.
Remove the fish from the marinade and grill on a preheated grill or nonstick grill pan over a medium-high heat until cooked thorough, about 3 minutes per side. Set the fish aside on a plate for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl combine the yogurt and chipotle pepper. I sometimes add a pinch of salt.
Heat the tortillas on the grill or grill pan for 30 seconds on each side.
Flake the fish with a fork. Top each tortilla with 1 tablespoon of the chipotle cream. Top with fish, cabbage, and cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
