Fish Tacos with all the fixings…

Speecy, spicy deliciousness!

Ingredient list:

flour tortillas
1 lb white flaky fish
1/3 cup grapeseed or canola oil
1 smoked jalapeno (or 2 t Ancho chili powder)
1 fresh jalapeno
1/3 cup cilantro
juice of 1 lime
1 cup plain bread crumbs
additional Ancho chili powder to taste

1/2 red onion
few squirts of chipotle Tabasco sauce (to taste)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
2 t Mexican oregano
3 cloves garlic
4 large ripe tomatoes
1 jalapeno

garnish:

sour cream
red onion
fresh cilantro
white, mild cheese (optional)

Start by mixing together the oil, lime juice, jalapenos, and cilantro

Pour over the fish, making sure it is well mixed and let marinate for 15 or 20 minutes

In the meantime, put the red onion, tabasco sauce, cilantro, oregano, garlic, tomatoes and jalapeno in a blender and blend until smooth

Dredge the fish in the bread crumbs mixed with a little more Ancho Chili Powder and fry in a hot skillet with a little oil until crispy and brown

warm the tortillas and build the taco using the sauce, cabbage, cilantro, onion and fish. Sometimes I add a little fresh Mexican cheese if I have it, or if I get carried away with the chili powder (which usually happens), a little sour cream to offset the heat.

If you want to open a bottle of wine, my choice would be Sauvignon Blanc, but I just had a nice cold beer with a slice of lime with these and it was great!

Happy summer eating….

xxoo,

RMW

    I am not a fish person but this does look good. Thanks, it might get me over the fish hump.

  14. JDaniel4's Mom Says:

    I wish I could convince my husband that fish should be in tacos! I love them and he says that fish doesn’t belong there.

  15. Pondside Says:

    Yummy! I’ve only had fish tacos once, but I loved them. Thanks for the recipe – I find that I am cooking almost exclusively from blogs these days, and I’ll be printing out this recipe to try.

  16. Sue Anderson Says:

    For some reason, I just can’t get behind fish tacos. I’ve ordered them several times, and I love fish, but I guess not in my Mexican food.

    They always look and smell good, though!

    =)

    Please. Send. Tacos. Immediately.

    I am famished.

    okay.

    Technically, I’m not really famished.

    I’m just really, really hungry.

    And these look fantastic!

    You are such a good food photographer!

    Be safe, my friend.

    Hugs and A+
