Flavorful Fusion: Fish Tacos with Chipotle-Lime Dressing

Servings: 6

Ingredients:

Marinade:

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 tbsp distilled white vinegar

  • 2 tbsp lime juice, fresh

  • 2 tsp lime zest

  • 1 ½ tsp honey

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ tsp cumin

  • ½ tsp chili powder

  • 1 tsp seafood seasoning

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • 1 tsp hot pepper sauce, or to taste

  • 1 lb cod, mahihi, or other white fish fillets, cut into chunks

Dressing:

  • 1 cup light sour cream

  • ½ cup adobo sauce from chipotle peppers

  • 2 tbsp lime juice, fresh

  • 2 tsp lime zest

  • ¼ tsp cumin

  • ¼ tsp chili powder

  • ½ tsp seafood seasoning

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings:

  • 1 (10 oz) package tortillas

  • 3 ripe tomatoes, diced and seeded

  • 1 bunch chopped cilantro

  • 1 small head of cabbage, cored and shredded

  • 2 limes, cut in wedges

Instructions:

  1. Marinating Magic: Begin by whisking together the olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, lime zest, honey, garlic, cumin, chili powder, seafood seasoning, black pepper, and hot sauce. Pour this flavorful mixture over the fish fillets in a shallow dish, cover, and allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours.

  2. Dressing Delight: While the fish absorbs those delicious flavors, prepare the chipotle-lime dressing by combining sour cream, adobo sauce, lime juice, lime zest, cumin, chili powder, seafood seasoning, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate until it's time to add the finishing touch.

  3. Grill & Thrill: Fire up the grill to high heat and oil the grate. Grill the marinated fish until it's easily flaked with a fork, turning once, for approximately 9 minutes.

  4. Taco Assembly: Now comes the fun part! Place those perfectly grilled fish pieces in the center of tortillas, add tomatoes, cilantro, and cabbage to your liking, and drizzle with the tantalizing chipotle-lime dressing.

  5. Serve with Style: Roll up the tacos around the fillings, garnish with lime wedges, and get ready to savor the fusion of flavors on your plate.

Notes:

  • If grilling isn't your preference, the marinated fish can also be baked in a preheated oven at 350ºF for 9-11 minutes. Assemble tacos according to the given directions.
