Ingredients

4 pieces fresh halibut, steak or filets, 6 to 8 ounces each
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Salt and pepper
1 lime, juiced
3 small to medium ripe Haas avocados, pitted and scooped from skins with a large spoon
1 lemon, juiced
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, eyeball it
1 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon coarse salt, eyeball it
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
2 scallions, thinly sliced on an angle
1 heart Romaine lettuce
12 soft (6-inch) flour tortillas

Directions

Preheat a grill pan or indoor grill to high heat or, prepare outdoor grill. Drizzle halibut with extra-virgin olive oil to keep fish from sticking to the grill pan or grill. Season fish with salt and pepper, to your taste. Roll lime on the counter top to get juices flowing. Also, any under ripe citrus may be placed in a microwave oven for 10 seconds at high setting to induce the juices to flow. Grill fish 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until opaque. Squeeze the juice of 1 lime down over the fish and remove from the grill pan or grill. Flake fish into large chunks with a fork.

While fish is cooking, in a blender or food processor, combine avocado flesh, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, yogurt and salt. Process guacamole sauce until smooth. Remove guacamole sauce to a bowl and stir in diced tomatoes and chopped scallions. Shred lettuce and reserve.

When fish comes off the grill pan or grill, blister and heat soft taco wraps. To assemble, break up fish and pile some of the meat into soft shells and slather with guacamole sauce. Top with shredded lettuce, fold tacos over and eat!

Tasty!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is an excellent twist on typical tacos! The grilled/smoky flavor of the fish paired really well with the buttery texture... of the avocado! I cut all my recipes down to serve just one, so I used only 1/2 an avocado with this recipe but that still yielded way too much guacamole sauce! Even so, it was delicious and satisfying!Read more

Delicious!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Normally not a huge fan of Rachel's but this recipe is amazing. The guacamole sauce saves for a few days and is good on so... many things. Last time I used cod because it was on sale and it was still very good... basically the sauce makes it regardless of the fish. Read more

Quick and tasty
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This dish is quick and easy to make. The gauc is excellent. I did doctor the sauce a little bit. I added some cayenne pepper,... jalapeno juice, and a splash of hot sauce. You can play with the sauce and make it what you want it to be. I use tallapia because any white fish will do and halibut is costly. The gauc goes great with chips too. I also used corn tortillas instead of flour just because that's what my family likes.Read more

Good basics that you can adjust to your preference
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Another hit from Rachael Ray! I followed the basic recipe, but made a few adjustments that I ended up enjoying. First, I... substituted a premixed bag of shredded cabbage for the lettuce and threw it in with the guac instead of the tomatoes (so it was kind of like a coleslaw). I love the tang that the yogurt added to it, and preferred it to the sour cream version. I also add a dash of worcestershire to round it off. I also used fresh cilantro in favour of scallions and added corn and a tiny dash of super hot salsa verde to the tomatoes and served them as a separate condiment. I also used sole instead of halibut (sole is way more within my budget range, unfortunately) I don't feel like I lost too much in taste, but a more "flakey" fish would have worked out better, in my opinion. Bottom line..... this one's a keeper!Read more

WOW! FANTASTIC!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These tacos are to die for. So easy and so healthy and so delicious. My kids even love them. I gave some to my physical... fitness trainer and he is still ranting and raving about them. He loves the fact that the guac is made with yogurt. Thanks Rachel. RobinRead more
