Quick fish tacos

Tuesday, September 14, 2010

I always want to try and make fish tacos, but it's kind of hard because M hates fish baked/pan fried/boiled or grilled fish. He likes it deep fried, like a true Southern man. One day I will try the healthier version but until then these make a great substitute.

Ingredients:

1-2 box of frozen battered fish (any brand, you need around 16 pieces)
1 bag of shredded cabbage mix w/carrots
8 corn or flour tortillas
2 limes
Pink Chili Mayo (recipe follows)

Directions:

Bake your fish as directed on the box. I bake enough for each person to have 2-3 tacos and one piece of fish on each taco.

Heat a dry cast iron skillet over medium heat or you can do this in the microwave. If you do it in the microwave, place the tortillas around a plate and place a damp papertowel and heat for 30 seconds. Warm a corn tortilla in the pan until it softens, about 30 seconds. Place a fish strip on it, top with some of the cabbage mix, and a big dollop of Pink Chili Mayo. Squeeze on some lime juice, roll up, and eat!

Pink Chili Mayo:

1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1 1/2 cups sour cream
2 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
Juice 1/2 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Put the mayonnaise, sour cream, peppers, and lime juice in a blender and process to a puree. Refrigerate the mayo for 1/2 hour to let the flavors to blend; taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

M and I love these tacos. When I made the Pink chili mayo, it made a lot more than needed, so I recommend making half unless you plan on eating a lot of fish tacos soon.
