GRILLED FISH TACOS WITH CHIPOTLE-LIME DRESSING
I came up with this recipe when I couldn't find good directions for grilled fish tacos. I liked the chipotle-lime combination in a dip I once tried so I imitated it here. Choose toppings to suit your taste, or include typical accompaniments such as salsa fresca, cabbage, a squeeze of lime juice, and chopped cilantro.

Steps:
- To make the marinade, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, lime zest, honey, garlic, cumin, chili powder, seafood seasoning, black pepper, and hot sauce in a bowl until blended. Place the tilapia in a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the fish. Cover, and refrigerate 6 to 8 hours.
- To make the dressing, combine the sour cream and adobo sauce in a bowl. Stir in the lime juice, lime zest, cumin, chili powder, seafood seasoning. Add salt, and pepper in desired amounts. Cover, and refrigerate until needed.

GRILLED FISH TACOS
These tacos don't come from a particular town or restaurant; rather, they incorporate elements from many different Yucatán grill masters. The preparation may look complicated, but it's actually pretty easy-because your guests assemble the tacos themselves.

Tips:
- Use fresh fish: The fresher the fish, the better your tacos will taste. If you can, buy your fish from a local fishmonger or market.

- Season the fish well: Don't be afraid to season your fish liberally with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to bring out the flavor of the fish.
- Cook the fish properly: Be careful not to overcook the fish, or it will become dry and tough. Cook the fish until it is just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Make the magic sauce: The magic sauce is what really makes these tacos special. Be sure to follow the recipe carefully to make the perfect sauce.
- Assemble the tacos: To assemble the tacos, simply place a piece of grilled fish on a tortilla and top with your favorite toppings. Some good options include shredded cabbage, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
