Fish Tacos (Gourmet Guy)

I always like fish tacos, in fact, rarely do I order a traditional taco at a Mexican Restaurant if fish tacos are an option

So the other day, when Lauri and I decided we would have some fish for dinner, I suggested fish tacos and this is what happened.

Coat fillets with Spice Mix and grill until just done.

Mix mayonnaise, onion, Spice Mix and Chipotle Tabasco for sauce.

Grilled fillet ready to break into bite-size pieces and assemble tacos.

Shredded cabbage and chopped oregano.

Begin with two grilled tortillas. . .

add fish. . .

and sauce. . .

and oregano. . .

and finish with shredded cabbage. I added more Chipotle Tabasco sauce to mine for even more flavor. Delicious!! A little Pico would have been a good addition. Enjoy with sides of your choosing.

Fish Tacos

2 Cod fillets (Any ocean whitefish would work - Snapper would be excellent!)
Spice Mix
8 corn tortillas
1/4 c. onion chopped (1/4 inch cubes)
2-3 T. mayonnaise
1-1/2 cup cabbage shredded (we used purple)
1-1/2 T. fresh oregano minced
1 t. Chipotle Tabasco sauce
extra virgin olive oil

Coat fillets with extra virgin olive oil. Apply half of the Spice Mix to both sides of the fillets. Mix mayonnaise, onion, Chipotle Tabasco sauce, and remaining Spice Mix together in bowl to create the taco sauce. Grill fillets until just done, about 2-3 minutes per side - more for thicker fillets. Grill tortillas until warmed through and just beginning to toast - be careful not to dry them out.

Assemble tacos using two tortillas each, breaking fish into bite-sized pieces (1/2 fillet for each taco), place generous portion of sauce over fish, sprinkle with chopped oregano and top with generous portion of cabbage to fill taco.

Serve with spanish rice and corn or your favorite Mexican sides.


Spice Mix

2 t. chili powder
1 t. ground cumin
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper (preferably fresh ground)

Mix all ingredients together.
