As a favor to any of my readers who have “lose weight” on their resolution list this year, I give you this very delicious, very healthy fish tacos recipe.
Please excuse me for a minute though while I go back a few posts and salivate over my dueling chocolate pies.
You can certainly substitute your favorite toppings in this taco and use flour tortillas. I really love the crunch of the cabbage since the fish has so little texture. Also, corn tortillas are the original and work great with this choice of protein.
1 pound firm white fish such as mahi mahi, flounder or orata
1/4 C canola oil
1 lime, juiced
1 Tb chili powder
1 jalapeno, coarsely chopped
1/4 chopped fresh cilantro
salt and pepper
8 corn tortillas
thinly shredded white cabbage
sliced avacado
sour cream
thinly sliced red onion
cilantro
salsa
Instructions
Mix together the ingredients for the marinade in a shallow dish.
Add the fish, turning to coat and allow to marinade for 20 minutes.
While the fish is marinating, heat your grill to medium-high. Cook the fish on a hot grill for 4 minutes on one side then 1 minute on the second.
Allow to rest for 5 minutes then flake the fish with a fork
Heat the tortillas on the grill, then load with fish and all the toppings.
Serve immediately.

Love the fish tacos. But the recipe I clicked on was for Chorizo Chicken Bake. Something happened. Would love to see the Chorizo. Can you tell me where it comes from?
