EASY FISH TACOS



Easy Fish Tacos image

Categories     Bean     Fish     Onion     Tomato     Low Fat     Quick & Easy     Lime     Mango     Halibut     Summer     Grill     Healthy     Cabbage     Sour Cream     Self

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Salsa
2 plum tomatoes, diced
1 mango, peeled and diced
1 onion, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Filling
1 lb halibut (or other flaky whitefish)
2 tbsp canola oil
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp chili powder
4 whole-wheat tortillas (6 inches each)
1 cup shredded green cabbage
4 oz nonfat sour cream
1 can (16 oz) lowfat refried beans

Steps:

  • Combine salsa ingredients. Heat grill. Cut fish into 4 pieces. Whisk together oil, lime juice and chili powder. Brush mixture onto both sides of each fillet; season with salt and pepper. Grill 3 or 4 minutes on each side until cooked through. Fill each tortilla with 1 fillet, flaked into pieces, and 1/4 cup each cabbage and salsa; top with 2 tbsp sour cream. Serve with 1/2 cup beans.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: White-fleshed fish such as tilapia, cod, or halibut are good choices for fish tacos. They are mild in flavor and cook quickly.
  • Season the fish well: Before cooking, season the fish with a flavorful blend of spices, such as chili powder, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder.
  • Cook the fish properly: Fish should be cooked until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Overcooking will make the fish dry and tough.
  • Prepare the tortillas: Warm the tortillas before serving. This will make them soft and pliable.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Fish tacos can be topped with a variety of ingredients, such as shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream.

Conclusion:

Fish tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a tasty and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion. Experiment with different types of fish, toppings, and sauces to find your favorite combination.
