Ingredients
- 1/3 cup light mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 2 tbsp skim milk
- 2 oz. canned diced green chiles
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 3/4 tsp chili powder
- 3/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 4 fillets (4 oz. each) firm white fish, such as Mahi Mahi or halibut
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- 16 corn tortillas
- 3 oz. Cotija or queso fresco cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 small green cabbage, cut into shreds
- 2 medium tomatoes, diced
Instructions
- The Sauce:
- In the bowl of a food processor, puree mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, diced chiles, lime juice, cumin and salt until smooth. Add cilantro and pulse until just combined.
- The Fish:
- In a small bowl, mix chili powder, cumin and salt. Pat the fish fillets with paper towel to remove excess moisture. Rub both sides of each fish fillet with spice mixture.
- Heat canola oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add fish fillets and cook on both sides until fish is just opaque. The time will vary depending on thickness of the fillets. The mahi mahi fillets I used took about 4 minutes per side.
- Remove fish from skillet, let cool slightly and gently pull apart with your hands to form strips.
- The Rest:
- Wrap tortillas in foil and warm on lowest setting of the oven. Using 2 corn tortillas for each taco, fill with fish, cheese, cabbage, tomato and desired amount of sauce. Serve.
