Fish Tacos with Chipotle Cream
Yield:
4
Ingredients
FOR THE FISH
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 pound flaky white fish, such as tilapia, mahi-mahi, or halibut
FOR THE CHIPOTLE CREAM
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoon organic mayo
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped canned chipotle chili in adobo sauce
FOR THE TACOS
- Eight 6 inch corn tortillas
- 1 ½ cups shredded purple cabbage
- ½ cup cooked corn kernels
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- To make the fish, in a small bowl whisk together the oil, lime juice, salt and pepper and pour over the fish and let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- In a small bowl combine the plain Greek yogurt, mayo, and the chipotle peppers.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet on medium high heat. Remove the fish from the marinade and place the marinated fish on the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side. Once the fish is cooked, cover and set aside.
- Heat the tortillas on the burner of a gas stove to the desired level of doneness. Otherwise, microwave the tortillas for about 30 seconds.
