Fish Tacos with Chipotle Cream

 

 

Another great fish taco recipe (and healthier)...
 

 

 

FISH:

 

2 Tbs 

 

olive oil

 

2 Tbs 

 

freshly squeezed lime juice

 

¼ tsp 

 

salt

 

 

 

freshly ground black pepper

 

1 lb 

 

white flaky fish fillet, like tilapia or halibut
 

 

 

 

CHIPOTLE CREAM:

 

½ cup 

 

plain nonfat yogurt

 

2 Tbs 

 

mayonnaise or sour cream

 

2 tsp 

 

chipotle chiles, in adobo sauce
 

 

 

 

TACOS:

 

Eight 6-inch 

 

corn tortillas

 

1½ cups 

 

shredded green cabbage or lettuce

 

½ cup 

 

corn kernels (thawed, if frozen)

 

¼ cup 

 

chopped fresh cilantro

 

 

 

lime wedges

 

 

1

In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lime juice, salt and pepper. Pour over the fish fillets and let marinate for 20 minutes. Put the yogurt into a strainer lined with a paper towel and place over a bowl to drain and thicken for 20 minutes.

2

Remove the fish from the marinade and grill on a preheated grill or nonstick grill pan over a medium-high heat until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Set the fish aside on a plate for 5 minutes.

3

In a small bowl, combine the thickened yogurt, mayonnaise (or sour cream) and chipotle chiles.

4

Heat tortillas on grill or grill pan for 30 seconds on each side.

5

Flake the fish with a fork. Top each tortilla with 1 Tbsp. of the chipotle cream. Top with fish, cabbage, corn and cilantro; serve with lime wedges.
