GRILLED FISH TACOS WITH CHIPOTLE-LIME DRESSING



Grilled Fish Tacos with Chipotle-Lime Dressing image

I came up with this recipe when I couldn't find good directions for grilled fish tacos. I liked the chipotle-lime combination in a dip I once tried so I imitated it here. Choose toppings to suit your taste, or include typical accompaniments such as salsa fresca, cabbage, a squeeze of lime juice, and chopped cilantro.

GRILLED FISH TACOS



Grilled Fish Tacos image

Not really traditional fish tacos since they are grilled, however they are none the less tasty. If you wish, you can serve these with mango salsa, pico de gallo and bottled hot sauce. Please allow 1 to 3 hours to allow fish to marinate. You can also bake or saute the fish. From Baja: Cooking on the Edge. I absolutely love this book!

Categories     Fish

Yield serves 5

Number Of Ingredients 24

Fish Marinade:
1 cup seeded and chopped tomatoes (about 1/2 pound)
3 scallions, thinly sliced
2 fresh or pickled jalapeño chilies seeded and minced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 1/2 pounds of firm fleshed white fish (striped bass, halibut, tilapia)
Rubios Sauce:
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
juice of 1 lime
salt to taste
15 small corn tortillas
Fixings:
1 1/2 cups red cabbage, thinly chopped
2 avocados, sliced or 1 cup of your favorite guacamole
1 cup of fresh tomatoes, chopped or your favorite salsa
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • In a bowl combine the ingredients for the marinade. Add the fish. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour or overnight. Make the Rubios sauce by whisking the ingredients together in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate. Can be made two days ahead. Wrap groups of 5 corn tortillas in aluminum foil. Place an oiled hinged fish grate onto a large plate. Transfer the fish from the marinade and place into the grate. (The plate underneath prevents the marinade from dripping). Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill the fish until the center is just opaque, about 5 minutes per side. While fish is cooking, place the foil-wrapped tortillas on the grill to warm. Set up a buffet with all of the fixings, the tortillas and the fish.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: For tacos, it's best to use a firm-fleshed fish that won't fall apart when cooked. Some good options include tilapia, cod, halibut, and salmon.
  • Prepare the fish properly: Before cooking, pat the fish dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the fish cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the grill.
  • Season the fish generously: Rub the fish with a mixture of salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Grill the fish until cooked through: Cook the fish over medium heat for 5-6 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. The fish is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Make the Rubio's sauce: While the fish is cooking, make the Rubio's sauce. This sauce is a delicious combination of mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and cilantro. It's the perfect complement to the grilled fish tacos.
  • Assemble the tacos: To assemble the tacos, place a piece of grilled fish on a tortilla. Top with Rubio's sauce, shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, and avocado slices. Fold the tortilla in half and enjoy!

Conclusion:

Grilled fish tacos with Rubio's sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They're perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual get-together. With a few simple tips, you can make grilled fish tacos that are sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give grilled fish tacos with Rubio's sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
