QUICK GRILLED FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 1 (18x12-inch) sheet of heavy-duty foil; spray with cooking spray. Sprinkle both sides of fish fillets with 2 teaspoons of the seasoning mix. Place fish on center of foil sheet. Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
• Place packet on grill over high heat. Cover grill; cook about 10 minutes, rotating packet 1/2 turn after 5 minutes, until fish flakes easily with fork. Let cool slightly; cut into bite-size chunks.

QUICK FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Combine the mayo, sour cream, chipolte, garlic powder and cover and chill. Place the fish sticks on a baking sheet, you might want to hit it with a little nonstick spray as sometimes they will stick. Bake according to directions on box (I just bake them at 375 for 12-15 minutes until crisp). As these are baking heat up a dry skillet and lightly toast the corn tortillas 2-3 at a time until opaque. Don't press them as they bake, it will make them stick. This takes less than a minute on each side, don't leave them too long as they will dry out. Stack them in middle of a large folded cloth to keep warm. Place a fish stick on each tortilla, dollop with sauce, a sprinkle of chopped onion, some sliced radishes, and pile on the shredded cabbage and serve. As of 4/09 these are less than a dollar per taco and will fill up four pretty well.
