Can't Stop Eating Them Fish Tacos

Recipes »  Main Dish  » 

Gotta say, I was not a big fan of the fish taco idea when it first started getting big a few years ago. But hey, I've come around. The nice part about fish tacos is that you make them as you go, so it kind of slows you down while you're eating. That's what I tell myself, anyway. I usually think I'll eat about 3-4 of these, but it ends up being 6-8.

"These we a huge hit from my mother to my 4 year old! I took some liberties with the recipe, one due to a mistake the other with trying to work with what I had on hand. I mistakenly marinaded the fish in the sauce, which gave it great flavor! Because I then had to remake the sauce, I cut 1/2 mayo with 1/2 lt sour cream. So good! I didn't do the cabbage, and the corn I used was left over grilled corn cut off the cob. I paired the tacos with cilantro lime rice and green beans! So good! Thx for the recipe!"

Servings          
Original recipe makes 4 Servings
4 grilled whitefish fillets
30 smalltortillas; yellow corn
1/2 cupmayonnaise
1 tsp.cumin
lime juice
4 cupsfinely shredded cabbage
1 largeyellow onion; diced
1 bunchfresh cilantro; chopped
1 canwhole kernel corn; 15 oz.
1 candiced green chilies; 7 oz.
Salt to taste

Can't Stop Eating Them Fish Tacos Preparation

Make the sauce by combining the mayo, cumin, and enough lime juice for the sauce to be the consistency you like it. Chill.

Make a simple salsa/pico by combining the onion, cilantro, corn, chilies and salt.

Crumble the fish fillets and put in a serving bowl. I like to use mahi-mahi or sea bass, but any whitefish on sale will do.

Warm the tortillas.

Set everything out and let everyone prepare their own. But I have to say, I think the order of construction here is important: Hold a warm tortilla in your hand and put the fish in first, then the shredded cabbage, then the sauce, and the salsa on top. You have to make these one at a time as you eat them.

This very delicious! However, I did poop myself shortly after dinner. Not sure if this lovely din din was the culprit. Dare I say, it was worth it!! Guess we'll find out next time!

We just finished eating these for supper! All I have to say is YUMMO!!!!!!! These were great! We seasoned our fish with chef Paul Prudhommes and sautéed it in evoo. That was the only things I did different. They were awesome!

Simple and very tasty! I used 6' flour tortillas because they were what was on hand. I was full with 4 and my wife with 3. Will make again - going over to 'favorites' - Thank you!

Excellent dish! I used swai (for the first time) and it grilled up great. Also added avocado and cherry tomatoes to the pico to use up some produce.

Made this with a twist and the entire family loved it. Add a little brown sugar and olive oil to the sauce. Chopped up pineapple ~1/4-1/2 cup and cooked with fish. Also added mexican corn (from Aldi's)
