Fast and easy, delicious fish tacos -- simply the best! When I have extra time, I like to add just a little cilantro, red onion, tomato, and avocado on top of mine with the lettuce, tomato, and crema!

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 limes, zested
1 cup packed cilantro leaves
3 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 fluid ounces tequila
1 pound tilapia fillets
2 tablespoons Mexican crema, or to taste
½ canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
kosher salt to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 (8 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
½ head shredded lettuce
1 tomato, diced
1 lime, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Place lime zest, cilantro, garlic, cumin, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and pepper in a small food processor bowl. Pulse until combined, about 20 seconds. Add tequila while mixture pulses.
  • Place tilapia fillets in a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add the garlic mixture and move fish around to coat each fillet. Let sit at room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Blend crema and chipotle pepper together in a food processor until smooth. Season with salt.
  • Heat an electric nonstick griddle to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Brush griddle with olive oil. Cook fillets until just opaque and easily flaked with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Cut fish into strips and place in tortillas with lettuce and tomatoes. Top with the chipotle crema and serve with lime wedges on the side.

These fish tacos were a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a different type of fish, like salmon or tilapia.

These fish tacos were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. The fish was cooked perfectly and the toppings were all very fresh. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
