Grilled Fish Tacos With Cilantro And Lime Coleslaw Recipes

FISH TACOS WITH CILANTRO LIME SLAW

Steps:

• Cut each fish filet into slices. The slices can be up to an inch thick and roughly the size of a tortilla (3-4 inches long).
• Pat the fish filets dry with a paper towel and sprinkle them with 1/4 tsp. kosher salt and pepper. (It's important that the fish is not too damp or it will steam in the pan and become rubbery instead of flaky).
• To make the coating simply combine 1 cup gluten free flour blend (or AP flour), 2 tsp. cumin, 2 tsp. chili powder, 1 tsp. garlic powder, 1 tsp. onion powder , and 1/2 tsp. each of kosher salt and pepper in a small bowl. Stir until completely combined.
• Place the pieces of fish onto a large plate, platter, or bowl and pour some of the flour mixture over the top. Flip each of the fish filets over a few times until each piece is completely coated in the flour mixture. Shake each piece of fish to remove any excess flour and repeat until all the fish is coated.
• Heat the skillet to slightly hotter than medium and add 2 Tbsp. of oil. Make sure the oil is thoroughly heated before adding the fish to the skillet (the fish should sizzle once it hits the pan).
• Fry the fish for 4-5 minutes on the first side. Do not move the fish around much or the coating will not stick. Once the first side has developed a golden brown coating flip it over and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side.
• Once each side has developed a golden brown coating remove the fish from the skillet and place it on a plate or paper towel. Add more salt and pepper if needed.
• Repeat with the second batch of fish, adding more oil to the pan so that it doesn't stick to the bottom. Repeat the process until all of the fish is cooked.
• Place ¾ cup sour cream, ¼ cup mayo, 2 cloves garlic, 1-2 jalapenos (remove seeds and membranes), the juice of 1 large lime (or 2 small limes), ½ tsp. kosher salt and pepper, and 1 cup fresh cilantro in a food processor or blender. Pulse until the dressing is completely combined.
• Chop 8 cups of fresh cabbage (red or green) and place it in a large bowl. You can also use a bag of shredded cabbage to save time if you like.
• Pour the dressing over the cabbage and toss until completely combined. The coleslaw may be prepare 1-2 hours or even the day ahead and stored in the fridge until ready to serve. Alternately, you can make it right before serving.
• To Serve: Place the pan fried fish on a couple of warmed corn tortillas. Pile a generous amount of spicy coleslaw on top. Additional toppings may be added if desired.

• Mix olive oil, lime juice, cumin, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Place fish in the bowl and evenly coat with marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
• While the fish is marinating, preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

GRILLED TEQUILA LIME FISH TACOS

Steps:

• For the cabbage: In a large mixing bowl, combine the vinegar, sugar and salt and mix together well. Add the cabbage and stir to coat everything evenly. Allow to marinate for 15 minutes. Fold in the cilantro and set aside until ready to use.
• For the fish marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine the tequila, cumin, garlic, lime juice and some salt and pepper. Portion the fish into 1-inch cubes and add to the marinade. Set aside to marinate for 4 to 5 minutes.
• To cook the fish: Heat a flat top grill to high and coat with a little oil. Skewer 4 to 5 pieces of fish on each skewer. Place the skewers on the grill and cook until the fish is white and cooked through, about 1 minute on each side and about 4 minutes total. Remove the skewers and allow to rest.
• Warm the tortillas in batches on the grill for about 2 minutes on each side. Remove the tortillas to a towel-lined foil pouch and cover loosely to keep warm.
• To build the tacos, drizzle a little Cilantro Lime Crema on a tortilla. Top with some strained red cabbage mixture and then place a skewer of fish on top. Slide out the skewer so the fish stays on the taco, and then finish with more lime crema. Garnish with some crumbled Cotija and hot sauce and serve with a wedge of lime on the side. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, milk, cilantro, garlic, cumin and lime juice and chill for 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper.

Add the cabbage, onion and cilantro, and stir together. refrigerate. (Can be prepared to this point up to 1 day ahead). To make fish: Mix the olive oil, chipotles,lime juice and cumin in a 13x9 inch baking dish. Add the fish and turn to coat, and allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours covered and refrigerated. Preheat the grill to medium heat . Place the fish fillets on the grill and season with salt and pepper. Grill the fish until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the fish to a platter. Meanwhile, heat the tortillas over an open gas flame or on a griddle. Wrap them in foil to keep warm. Serve fish, breaking it into large pieces with a serving spoon, with warm tortillas, acvacados, coleslaw and picante sauce, allowing your guests to assemnble their own tacos.

EASY FISH TACOS WITH CILANTRO-LIME DRESSING

• At the same time, combine yogurt, lime juice, and cilantro for dressing in a bowl. Chill overnight while fish marinates.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove mahi mahi from marinade and place on a grill pan; discard excess marinade. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, turning as needed, about 5 minutes.
• Serve fish on warmed tortillas with dressing.

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.
