Ingredients

Fish:

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound white flaky fish fillet, like tilapia or halibut

Chipotle cream:

1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons chipotle pepper, in adobo sauce
8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
1 1/2 cups shredded green cabbage or lettuce
1/2 cup corn kernels (thawed if frozen)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
Lime wedges

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lime juice, salt and pepper. Pour over the fish fillets and let marinate for 20 minutes. Put the yogurt into a strainer lined with apaper towel and place over a bowl to drain and thicken for 20 minutes.

Remove the fish from the marinade and grill on a preheated grill or nonstick grill pan over a medium-high heat until cooked thorough, about 3 minutes per side. Set the fish aside on a plate for 5 minutes.

In a small bowl combine the thickened yogurt, mayonnaise, and chipotle pepper.

This is one of my favorite new way to cook tilapia. Not only is this easy to make but delicious. Very light and healthy.

Always felt like it was missing something, no matter what I added
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

ON THE CORN AND ONION: Definitely suggest sauteeing/lightly browning the corn and onion together in a skillet beforehand..... really adds a rich smoky flavor. ON THE ADOBO SAUCE: I used double the amount of adobe pepper, it needed i ( and I am not one who has to have it spicy, mind you) but I did feel like it was just missing something. Everyone at the table agreed. And use non-fat greek yogurt to save time/calories. ON THE TACO: Definitely do a SOFT flour or wheat taco. ON ADDING AVOCADO: I meant to but forgot, and I think it would've added to it. ON THE FISH: I used MAHI instead which was of course good. BOTTOM LINE: Will use again if I can find whatever is missing!Read more

fantastic

The sauce is a GREAT dip for chips alone as well. I added extra lime and cilantro to this dish.

These are seriously delicious!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I can't understand the negative reviews. Maybe they just are not used to Chipotle Chiles in Adobo! I love them and even add... a bit more than the recipe calls for since I love the spicy. I've been making these tacos for a few years now and they never get old. About the only change I make from Ellie's recipe is that I use whole wheat flour tortillas instead of the corn tortillas since I prefer a softer taco. Read more

Superb!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These tacos absolutely delicious and are so light and healthy. I always serve them when my whole extended family is together... and just put all the ingredients out in bowls for everyone to make there own. Fresh corn is an absolute must and a little guacamole is great with it s well. Don't change a thing...they are perfect! Everyone always wants the recipe!Read more
