Fish Tacos With Chipotle Lime Cilantro Slaw Recipe 475

GRILLED FISH TACOS WITH CHIPOTLE-LIME DRESSING

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.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate. Set grate 4 inches from the heat.
• Remove fish from marinade, drain off any excess and discard marinade. Grill fish pieces until easily flaked with a fork, turning once, about 9 minutes.
• Assemble tacos by placing fish pieces in the center of tortillas with desired amounts of tomatoes, cilantro, and cabbage; drizzle with dressing. To serve, roll up tortillas around fillings, and garnish with lime wedges.

FISH TACOS WITH CILANTRO CHIPOTLE SLAW

Steps:

• Mix the marinade ingredients together in a blender. Except the fish, as we're not making cat food.
• Pour the marinade into a big zip top bag with the fish and let it sit for about 30 minutes at the most.
• In a food processor, combine all of the slaw ingredients except the cabbage. Spin it up until you have a smoothish dressing.
• Pour the slaw dressing over the cabbage and toss to combine. Let it chill in the fridge until dinner is ready. Normally I would make any coleslaw a day ahead of time, but for this, I still want a good crunch to the cabbage.
• Mix the Masa, the salt and 1 cup of the water in a bowl by hand.
• Only add enough of the remaining water tot he dough so it is workable enough to form a golf ball sized ball that can be flattened out without it crumbling apart.
• Divide the dough into 16 equally sized balls.
• Break out your tortilla press and flatten each dough ball into a small round. Or if you're like me, break out the tortilla press, then break the press after the third tortilla and resort to parchment paper, a heavy pan with a smooth bottom and a rolling pin.
• Cook the tortillas on a med-high hot dry pan or an electric griddle for about 1 minute per side. You'll have to eyeball the time depending on how hot your "med-high" is.
• I followed Alton Browns tip on keeping my tortillas hot and ready by wrapping them in a tea towel sitting on a heating pad. Yes, I am that much of a geek that I have a heating pad in the kitchen.
• Get a large non stick pan heated over medium ready with half the oil.
• Place your fish in the pan, careful not to crowd the pan, and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side. This is really up to you and how "done" you like your fish and also the type and thickness of the fish you're cooking. I look for just opaque in the center.
• Extract the first batch and cover with foil while the second batch cooks.
• I like the two tortilla shingle method myself with the fish on the bottom and the slaw on top. You can throw some diced tomatoes on top or maybe a squeeze of lime if you think it's necessary. I like to keep it simple.

CHIPOTLE FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Mix together the honey, chipotle peppers and adobo sauce, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and juice and zest of 1 lime in a small bowl to make a glaze. Set aside.
• Put the broccoli slaw in the bottom of a baking dish. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then toss. Scatter over the sliced sweet peppers and chiles. Top the slaw and peppers with the cod fillets. Season the cod with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the chipotle glaze over the fish and around the baking dish over the slaw.
• Roast until the fish is cooked through and flaky, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately squeeze over the juice of the other lime. Flake the cod into large chunks and sprinkle over the chopped cilantro.
• To build the tacos, place a couple chunks of cod into each taco shell. Top with a pinch of slaw, some sliced avocado, sour cream and hot sauce. Garnish with a lime wedge and squeeze over a little juice before eating.
