Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

Canola or vegetable oil, for brushing on the griddle
16 white corn tortillas
1 tablespoon chile powder
1 teaspoon garlic salt
Juice of 1 lime
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds flaky white fish such as mahi mahi or cod, cut into 4-ounce fillets
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon honey
2 canned chipotle chiles in adobo
Juice of 1 lime
Pinch kosher salt
Shredded purple cabbage, for serving
Fresh cilantro, for serving
Pico de Gallo, recipe follows, for serving
2 ripe large tomatoes, finely diced
1 white onion, finely diced
1/2 jalapeno, minced
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, leaves only, minced
Juice of 1/2 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the tortillas: Brush a hot griddle with oil and heat the tortillas on each side to brown them up a bit. Wrap them in foil to keep hot until it's time to eat.
  • For the fish: In a bowl, combine the chile powder, garlic salt, lime juice and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Toss the mixture with the fish in a shallow container and marinate for 15 minutes.
  • For the chipotle sauce: In the meantime, combine the mayonnaise, cilantro, honey, chipotles, lime juice and salt in a food processor and blend until creamy and smooth. Transfer the sauce to a container (I like to store it in a squeeze bottle) and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Put the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the fish and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and flake with a fork.
  • To build each taco, spoon some fish onto 2 stacked tortillas (see Cook's Note). Top with some chipotle sauce, cabbage, cilantro and Pico de Gallo.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, cilantro and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.
