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.

Heat the tortillas on the grill or grill pan for 30 seconds on each side.

Flake the fish with a fork. Top each tortilla with 1 tablespoon of the chipotle cream. Top with fish, cabbage, corn and cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

    Excellent fish modify the sauce

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    The fish was great for fish tacos. Simple flavors that don't compete with the taco fillings. Suggest substituting the... sauce with either Ellie's or Emerald's tomatillo salsa.Read more

    Not so good...

    Rated: 2 stars out of 5
    The sauce was not good. I had to use my homeade salsa to spice it up. I think the fish may have added more flavor if they had... a rub instead of a marinade. It's too bad because this looked like the best recipe for fish tacos with Tilapia. I'll have to keep trying or just eat fish tacos when I'm out.Read more

    not my favorite!

    Rated: 2 stars out of 5
    I didn't like this recipe at all! The chipotle cream was weird. I used mahi mahi and it turned out ok but I prefer fired fish... tacos. I added some fresh pico de gallo because it was so bland. Healthy meal, but not too tasty...Read more

    Easy and delicious

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    These tacos have become a favorite in my house over the past two or three years. A family member who hates fish makes an... enthusiastic exception for these. I use tilapia because it's cheap, always available, quick-cooking, and yummy. When I made these last night, since corn is in season, I used raw kernels cut from the cob; it was delicious and gave a refreshing crunch. In Ellie's cookbook, The Food You Crave, she mentions the option of using Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt in the chipotle cream, which allows you to skip the step of draining the yogurt. That's what I always do. The chipotle cream, by the way, is GENIUS. Don't substitute anything else. It's worth the two minutes it takes to make it.Read more
