Grilled Tex-Mex Fish Tacos image

These grilled tacos combine two of our favorite foods, fish and Tex-Mex. They remind us of living on the Texas Gulf Coast. Now that we live in Colorado I have to make all our favorite seafood and Mexican dishes to our liking! Serve with creamy slaw and add avocado slices or any favorite taco toppings.

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup chili powder
2 teaspoons Mexican oregano
2 teaspoons cumin seeds, toasted and ground
1 teaspoon ground chipotle chile powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 lime, zested and juiced
1 ½ pounds tilapia fillets
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, or more to taste
½ teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons olive oil
12 (6 inch) corn tortillas, warmed

Steps:

  • Mix 1/4 cup olive oil, chili powder, Mexican oregano, cumin, chipotle powder, salt, coriander, lime zest, and lime juice together in a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Add tilapia and toss gently until well coated. Marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, combine cream cheese, yogurt, garlic, chipotle in adobo, and cumin for spread in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Coat a grill basket with 2 tablespoons olive oil; place fish into the prepared basket.

  • Serve on warm tortillas with chipotle spread.
