FISH TACOS WITH CREAMY CHIPOTLE SAUCE AND PICO DE GALLO
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-LIME DRESSING
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.

Steps:
- To make the Adobo Sauce, wisk together Sour Cream, Adobo sauce from a can of chipotle chiles, Seafood seasoning, Chili Powder, Cumin, Lime Juice, and Lime Zest. And refrigerator until ready to use.
- Then wisk together Canolia Oil, Ancho Chile Powder, chopped Cilantro, chopped Jalapeno and the juice of 1 Lime. Then marinade the fish in this mixture for at least 15-20 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Meanwhile (while your fish is marinadeing), you can chop up the rest of your taco toppings.
- To grill the fish, I used a non-stick spray on aluminum foil or you can use another type of grill top if you have one (to prevent the fish from falling into the grill). You want to grill the fish for 4 minutes on one side, then turn it over and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Remove from heat and let stand for about 5 minutes.
- The corn tortillas I sprayed lightly with oil and placed on the grill for about 30 seconds and they come out perfect.
- Fill your tortillas with the grilled fish, top with shredded green cabbage, grilled corn, avocado, cilantro, onion, tomatoes, etc. and then top with the Adobo sauce. Eat and enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose fresh tilapia fillets: Look for fillets that are firm to the touch, have a mild fishy smell, and are free of any blemishes.
- Marinate the tilapia: Marinating the fish in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, and cumin helps to infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during cooking.
- Grill the tilapia over medium heat: This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the grill and ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Make the adobo sauce ahead of time: This sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance, making it a great time-saver for busy weeknights.
- Serve the tacos immediately: Once the tilapia is cooked and the tacos are assembled, serve them immediately for the best flavor.
