Fish Tacos & Chile Recipe

I love fish tacos and said for the longest time that I needed to make them and finally got around to it a few weeks ago……. they were delicious!

Ingredients Needed:

• 1 tilapia filet per person
• cumin
• coriander
• cayenne pepper
• seasoning salt
• 2 limes
• chopped red cabbage
• shredded cheddar
• fresh cilantro
• fresh chile (see recipe further into this post)
• small corn or flour tortillas

First I suggest you marinate your tilapia with lime juice, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper and coriander

Many fish tacos are fried or baked, but I made mine in a grill pan. Doesn’t matter which way you cook this fish, just make sure it is fully cooked ;)

Chop some red cabbage, shred cheese and pick some fresh cilantro (so colorful and pretty!)

I did not make this cream sauce for the tacos but I might next time, sounds delicious!

Ingredients for cream sauce:

• 1/4  cup  thinly sliced green onions
• 1/4  cup  chopped fresh cilantro
• 3  tablespoons  fat-free mayonnaise
• 3  tablespoons  reduced-fat sour cream
• 1  teaspoon  grated lime rind
• 1 1/2  teaspoons  fresh lime juice
• 1/4  teaspoon  salt
• 1  garlic clove, minced

Ingredients needed for chile:

• 2 jalapeno pepper
• 1 serrano pepper
• any other hot peppers will do!
• can of peeled tomatoes or fresh tomatoes
• garlic gloves
• 1 onion
• 1 Tbs cumin
• salt

Now to make the chile, roast some hot peppers on a camal

Throw all your ingredients in a food processor

Add fresh cilantro, cumin and salt

Blend the chile good

Serve chile in a bowl, refrigerate any extra in a glass jar

Aren’t they pretty? I used corn tortillas for these fish tacos but I think that flour holds up a little better.  We served these with arroz con gandules (recipe for that to follow!)

Mmmmm, I am going to have to make these again very soon!
