Fish Tacos

I know, I know, I already lost a lot of you from the title.  BUT if you are a fan of seafood, you HAVE to try this one.  It's delicious, and we LOVED it!! 

Fish Marinade:

4 fillets of halibut, cod or tilapia (We used tilapia.)
Zest of one lime
2-3 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tsp olive oil

Combine ingredients in a zip lock bag and marinate for at least 1 hour. Note: Don't add lime juice to marinade because the acid from the juice will cook the fish.


Salt and pepper to taste
Dash of paprika and oregano
1 tsp olive oil

Remove fish from zip lock and place on a plate. Season to taste with salt, pepper, oregano and a bit of paprika on both sides. Heat olive oil in a skillet, once hot add fish and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until tender and flaky.  (I used my grill pan because I have been looking for any excuse to use it, and it is nonstick, so I didn't use oil.)


Cilantro and Lime Cole Slaw Salad:

3 cups bagged cole slaw mix with carrots
1-2 limes, juiced or 3 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Make this salad right before you serve the tacos so it stays crunchy. Combine all ingredients until mixed thoroughly.


Sour Cream Sauce:

1 cup sour cream
2-3 tsp of your favorite hot sauce (depends how spicy you like it!)

Stir until combined thoroughly.


Other Ingredients:

Flour tortillas
Cotija cheese, grated (I couldn't find cotija cheese at the store, so I used monterey jack.)
Cilantro & Lime Cole Slaw Salad
Sour cream sauce
Guacamole (We didn't have any, so we skipped it, and it was still delicious!)

Cook tortillas (dry) in a hot pan for 45-60 seconds on each side. You want them soft and pliable. Top the tortillas with fish, cilantro & lime cole slaw salad, cheese, guacamole and sour cream sauce. Enjoy.
