Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons honey
2 canned chipotle peppers in adobo, chopped, plus 2 tablespoons adobo sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 limes, 1 zested and juiced, 1 sliced in half
One 16-ounce bag broccoli slaw
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 mini sweet peppers, sliced into rings
1 to 2 serrano chiles, sliced thinly
1 pound cod fillets
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
12 corn taco shells, blistered
Sliced avocado, sour cream, hot sauce and lime wedges, for the tacos

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Mix together the honey, chipotle peppers and adobo sauce, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and juice and zest of 1 lime in a small bowl to make a glaze. Set aside.
  • Put the broccoli slaw in the bottom of a baking dish. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then toss. Scatter over the sliced sweet peppers and chiles. Top the slaw and peppers with the cod fillets. Season the cod with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the chipotle glaze over the fish and around the baking dish over the slaw.
  • Roast until the fish is cooked through and flaky, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately squeeze over the juice of the other lime. Flake the cod into large chunks and sprinkle over the chopped cilantro.
  • To build the tacos, place a couple chunks of cod into each taco shell. Top with a pinch of slaw, some sliced avocado, sour cream and hot sauce. Garnish with a lime wedge and squeeze over a little juice before eating.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

Canola or vegetable oil, for brushing on the griddle
16 white corn tortillas
1 tablespoon chile powder
1 teaspoon garlic salt
Juice of 1 lime
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds flaky white fish such as mahi mahi or cod, cut into 4-ounce fillets
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon honey
2 canned chipotle chiles in adobo
Juice of 1 lime
Pinch kosher salt
Shredded purple cabbage, for serving
Fresh cilantro, for serving
Pico de Gallo, recipe follows, for serving
2 ripe large tomatoes, finely diced
1 white onion, finely diced
1/2 jalapeno, minced
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, leaves only, minced
Juice of 1/2 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the tortillas: Brush a hot griddle with oil and heat the tortillas on each side to brown them up a bit. Wrap them in foil to keep hot until it's time to eat.
  • For the fish: In a bowl, combine the chile powder, garlic salt, lime juice and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Toss the mixture with the fish in a shallow container and marinate for 15 minutes.
  • For the chipotle sauce: In the meantime, combine the mayonnaise, cilantro, honey, chipotles, lime juice and salt in a food processor and blend until creamy and smooth. Transfer the sauce to a container (I like to store it in a squeeze bottle) and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Put the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the fish and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and flake with a fork.
  • To build each taco, spoon some fish onto 2 stacked tortillas (see Cook's Note). Top with some chipotle sauce, cabbage, cilantro and Pico de Gallo.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, cilantro and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.

GRILLED FISH TACOS WITH CHIPOTLE CREMA



Grilled Fish Tacos with Chipotle Crema image

Provided by Jet Tila

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 8 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup (60 milliliters) mayonnaise
1/2 cup (120 milliliters) sour cream
2 limes, 1 halved and 1 cut into wedges
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon canned chipotle chile, finely chopped (optional)
Vegetable oil, such as grapeseed or canola
Eight 6 inch corn tortillas
1 pound (450 grams) skinless flounder (or other firm, white fish) fillets
2 cups (480 milliliters) shredded green cabbage, rinsed in ice water and dried thoroughly
Pico de gallo or Mexican hot sauce (such as Tapatio, Cholula or Valentina), for serving

Steps:

  • Make the chipotle crema: In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise and sour cream until combined. Squeeze in lime juice, to taste, and whisk. Add salt, pepper and chipotle, to taste.
  • Make the tacos: Heat a large skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes. Meanwhile, pour a few tablespoons of oil in a small bowl. Separate the corn tortillas from each other but keep them in a stack then run the outer edges through the oil. Add a few tortillas at a time to the dry skillet and heat until soft and hot, about 30 seconds per side. Wrap the tortillas in a clean, dry kitchen towel or place in a tortilla warmer, to keep warm.
  • Heat a grill pan or grill over high heat for at least 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, slice the fish fillets into 1-by-2-inch strips. Pat dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt and a pinch of pepper.
  • Wipe the grill pan or grill grates with a lightly oiled towel right before cooking to remove any char and debris. (This will give you great grill marks and help the fish from sticking.) Working in batches, cook the fish strips in a single layer just until they are opaque and flake in the middle (making sure not to overcook them), about 2 minutes per side.
  • Top each tortilla with 3 fish strips, a pinch of the cabbage and a drizzle of the crema. Serve right away with lime wedges and pico de gallo or hot sauce on the side.

Fish Tacos With Chipotle Aioli image

I LOVE Rubios Fish Tacos. I have tried so many recipes for fish tacos but none have come close. I finally was able to combine a few to get to this favorite of mine. While, they still aren't as good as Rubios....they are my second favorite.

Provided by Melanie B.

Categories     Halibut

Time 40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups panko breadcrumbs
4 eggs
3 lbs halibut (you can use another firm white fish, but I prefer halibut)
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon pepper (fresh ground)
1 tablespoon dried chipotle powder
12 white corn tortillas
4 cups napa cabbage, shredded
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
2 chipotle peppers, canned in adobo sauce
2 tablespoons adobo sauce (from canned chipotle peppers)
2 tablespoons lime juice (fresh squeezed)
12 lime wedges (for garnish)
peanut oil, for frying fish

Steps:

  • To make the sauce:.
  • Put mayonnaise, sour cream, peppers, and lime juice in a blender and process to a puree. Add salt & pepper to taste. Place in a bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour. After chilled test for seasoning. Add salt & pepper if needed.
  • To make the fish:.
  • Heat a heavy pan about 1/4 full of peanut oil to approximately 375 degrees. Place Panko crumbs, salt, pepper, and chipotle powder in a shallow bowl. Wisk eggs into another shallow bowl with some salt & pepper. Slice fish into taco size pieces, about 1 inch wide by 3-4 inches long. Dip fish into the egg wash and coat with panko crumbs. Make sure that the fish is well coated but not over coated (shake well). Let rest for a 2-3 minutes before cooking.
  • Cook the fish in the hot oil in small batches. This will keep the temperature high so you can cook the fish fast. Cook the fish for about 4-5 minutes until golden browned and crispy. Once cooked, place on paper towels and pat dry to drain any residual oil.
  • Steam corn tortillas according to package instructions. You can also heat them on the stove.
  • Serve tacos by placing some sauce in the bottom of a tortilla, add fish, and the cabbage. Garnish with a fresh lime wedge. I also like to add some fresh fruit salsa, like my Pineapple salsa with this recipe.

  • Use fresh fish for the best flavor. If using frozen fish, thaw it completely before cooking.
