I really wanted to make vegetable stuffed tacos but couldn't find any recipes without having to scour the internet for any longer than a half hour. In my search, I found a recipe for fish tacos.
I changed the recipe a bit as any chef, I mean, in training culinary artist, would do, right?
You can grill the fish or bake it according to the recipe. I cooked mine on the stove top. It cooked well and tasted great. Everything came out good but the next time I will definitely add a little heat (spice).
Marinade (Marinate for 6-8 hours)
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons lime zest
- 1 1/2 teaspoons honey (I have a raw avocado flower infused honey that I used for this recipe.)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay™ (I omitted due to added sodium.)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground fresh pepper
- 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, or to taste (Left it out due to comments stating it was TOO hot!)
- 1 pound tilapia fillets, cut into chunks
-
- Dressing
- 1 (8 ounce) container light sour cream
- 1/2 cup adobo sauce from chipotle peppers (I had adobo seasoning salt. Couldn't find the sauce.)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons lime zest
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay™ (Omitted here too.)
- salt and pepper to taste
-
- Toppings
- 1 (10 ounce) package tortillas (I used tomato basil tortillas. The only kind I found without *yucky stuff.)
- 3 ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
- 1 small head cabbage, cored and shredded
- 2 limes, cut in wedges
* yucky stuff = hydrogenated oils

| My son likes to help. It gets a tad messy at times but that doesn't change the taste! |
Choose, eat, and live well! =)
