Fabulous Fish Tacos

I call these fabulous fish tacos for a good reason. They are FABULOUS! I owe my sister, Tessa, for the recipe that she originally found on allrecipes.com under the name fish tacos ultimo. Unfortunately, I don't have a grill, so this recipe is a bit different. 

My best friends Nichole and Mel came to visit me a few weeks back and I wanted to make something extra special with them so I immediately thought of these fish tacos. We're all mega Mexican food fans.

What you'll need:

Fish:

1 pound frozen tilapia fillets, thawed

2 tablespoons lime juice

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 clove garlic

1 teaspoon paprika

fresh cilantro to taste (I used about 2 tablespoons)

olive oil

olive oil spray

Chipotle Sauce:

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons lime juice

1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

2 teaspoons canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

1 clove garlic

fresh cilantro to taste

Tacos:

9 corn tortillas

2 cups shredded cabbage (green or red)

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1 tomato, chopped

1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and sliced

2 green onions, chopped

salsa (optional)

Serving size: Feeds 3 hungry people 3 tacos each :)

Rub the fish with a small amount of olive oil and then cover with the marinade mixture: lime juice, salt, black pepper, chopped garlic, cilantro, and paprika.

Cook the fish in a large skillet sprayed with olive oil spray for about 3-4 minutes on each side over medium heat, or until the filet flakes easily with a fork.

For the chipotle sauce: combine yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, and chipotle peppers in a blender and pulse until sauce is well blended.

Heat each corn tortilla in a skillet over low heat until warm. Assemble your tacos and enjoy! 

Don't forget more cilantro! :)
