Fish Tacos with Chipotle Cream

By Pikachutherecipereader

This has been one of my go-to dishes for a long time and I've always forgotten to post. It's super easy and has a great mix of everything (flavor, texture, and nutrition.) It works terrifically as both a finished dish on its own and as a starter recipe for improvisation. One of our favorites. Thanks, Ellie!

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

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 apaper towel and place over a bowl to drain and thicken 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 thickened yogurt, mayonnaise, and chipotle pepper.

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, corn and cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
