Categories     Dinner

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup white rice
1 ½ cups coconut milk
1 tablespoon pineapple juice
1 teaspoon coconut oil
1 pound tilapia or catfish
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
2 tablespoons coconut oil
4 flour tortillas
1 avocado
½ cup black beans
½ cup pineapple salsa
¼ cup cotija Cheese
1 tablespoon lime juice (1 tbsp usually = juice from ½ a lime)
1 handful of cilantro for garnish
1 tablespoon crema or sour cream

Steps:

  • Bring coconut milk to boil and add dry rice. Reduce to simmer, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Then add the coconut oil and pineapple juice. Mix well and set aside.
  • Thoroughly dry fish filets by pressing them in between two paper towels.
  • Rub the fish with seasoning generously on both sides.
  • Over medium heat, add coconut oil to your pan to start simmering. Carefully place your fish fillets into the hot oil. Cover and cook for five minutes before flipping.You will know your fish is ready to flip because it will easily come onto your spatula without sticking to the pan. Once flipped, cover again and cook for another five minutes until you achieve a nice, browned color on both sides.
  • Remove from pan and set aside for taco assembly.
  • Prep your ingredients by slicing the avocado, prepping pineapple salsa, cutting lime, warming black beans, cooking fish, and grating cotija.
  • Heat your tortillas in a dry pan or by microwaving between two damp paper towels for about 15 seconds. Add rice to your taco first, and then pile on fish, beans, avocado, and pineapple salsa. Drizzle with Crema, sprinkle on Cotija and finish with fresh lime juice. Garnish with cilantro and serve warm!

GRILLED FISH TACOS



Grilled Fish Tacos image

Instead of deep-frying the fish for these fish tacos, we coat the fish with a flavor-packed chile rub and grill it instead. Make sure the fillets are no more than 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick so they cook quickly. Sometimes flipping fish on the grill can be tricky since the fish can stick to the grill or fall apart. The solution is to invest in a grill basket that easily holds 4 to 6 fish fillets and secures the fish in the basket for easy flipping. If you don't have a grilling basket, make sure the grill is hot and well oiled before adding the fish.

4 teaspoons chili powder, preferably made with New Mexico or ancho chiles (see Note)
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 pounds mahi-mahi or Pacific halibut (see Note), 1/2-3/4 inch thick, skinned and cut into 4 portions
¼ cup reduced-fat sour cream
¼ cup low-fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon lime zest
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon sugar
⅛ teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper
3 cups finely shredded red or green cabbage
12 corn tortillas, warmed (see Tip)

Steps:

  • To prepare fish: Combine chili powder, lime juice, oil, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub adobo rub all over fish. Let stand 20 to 30 minutes for the fish to absorb the flavor.
  • To prepare coleslaw: Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, sugar, salt and pepper in a medium bowl; mix until smooth and creamy. Add cabbage and toss to combine. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high.
  • Oil the grill rack (see Tip) or use a grilling basket. Grill the fish until it is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the fish to a platter and separate into large chunks.
  • Serve the tacos family-style by passing the fish, tortillas, coleslaw and taco garnishes separately.

I used to make these all the time in California and they are so easy and fresh! You can also omit the mayonnaise and increase the red vinegar to reduce calories. All in all, these are a great main dish for any time of year! We usually serve them with fat-free refried beans topped with cilantro and goat cheese, or a cold corn salad with chopped bell pepper and onion.

A little bit spicy from the combination of different herbs used to coat the fish, a little bit tangy from the pineapple, chilli, tomato and lime, and a whole lot of summer together in a lightly grilled soft mini taco.

  • Season the fish well. Before cooking the fish, be sure to season it with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Cook the fish properly. The fish should be cooked until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Overcooking the fish will make it tough and dry.
  • Make a flavorful salsa. The salsa is an important part of fish tacos, so be sure to make it flavorful and fresh. A good option is to use a combination of pineapple, mango, red onion, and cilantro.
  • Assemble the tacos. To assemble the tacos, start by placing a tortilla on a plate. Then, add the cooked fish, salsa, cabbage, and any other desired toppings. Fold the tortilla in half and enjoy!
