GRILLED FISH TACOS WITH CHIPOTLE-LIME DRESSING



Grilled Fish Tacos with Chipotle-Lime Dressing image

I came up with this recipe when I couldn't find good directions for grilled fish tacos. I liked the chipotle-lime combination in a dip I once tried so I imitated it here. Choose toppings to suit your taste, or include typical accompaniments such as salsa fresca, cabbage, a squeeze of lime juice, and chopped cilantro.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ medium head green cabbage, shredded
3 scallions, thinly sliced
5 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 tilapia fillets, or more to taste
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
¾ cup mayonnaise
1 lime, juiced, divided
2 teaspoons minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, or to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
½ cup crumbled queso fresco

Steps:

  • Whisk cider vinegar, vegetable oil, and salt together in a small bowl. Combine cabbage, scallions, and cilantro in a separate bowl. Pour vinegar mixture over top and toss to coat; set cabbage slaw aside.
  • Combine chili powder, salt, coriander, cumin, and pepper in a bowl. Pat fish dry and rub with vegetable oil. Rub fish evenly with spice mixture. Place fish on a wire rack and refrigerate until grill is ready.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat with the lid down for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • While the grill is heating, combine mayonnaise, 1/2 of the lime juice, chipotle peppers, and garlic in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

  • Cook until fish is opaque and flakes apart when gently prodded, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5 minutes. Tear fish apart into a bowl and pour remaining lime juice over top.
  • Place several tortillas in a single layer on the grill and cook until warm, about 10 seconds per side. Transfer to a tortilla warmer and repeat to warm remaining tortillas.
