Steaming hot tortillas filled with grilled white fish (we like Mahi Mahi), shredded cheese, chipotle sauce, diced avocado and tomato, and freshly snipped cilantro! These fish tacos are easy and one of my favorite ways to serve grilled fish! Yield:
12 fish tacos (3-4 servings) Ingredients:
12 corn tortillas, about 5″ in diameter*
several tablespoons of oil, for cooking tortillas
Filling ingredients:
1-2 cups hot cooked pinto beans or refried beans
3 cups sliced or diced grilled mahi mahi or other white fish (freshly grilled or re-warmed)
Chipotle hot sauce, for serving
1-2 cups (4-8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese blend
1 large or 2 small avocados, diced
1 large or 2 small tomatoes, diced
2 stalks of green onions, chopped
1/2 cup (loosely measured) freshly chopped cilantro
Optional ingredients:
Hot cooked rice
Sour cream or tzatziki sauce**
Shredded lettuce
Finely chopped cucumbers
Instructions:
1. Heat a heavy skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add ~1 teaspoon oil (sprinkle or spray on) to the hot surface and cook the corn tortillas, one at a time, for a minute or two on each side, until a few light brown spots appear. Tortillas should still be pliable and somewhat soft.***
2. To assemble tacos, place a tablespoon or two of the beans on the hot tortilla. Top with 1/4 cup of the fish, a splash of Chipotle hot sauce, a couple tablespoons of shredded cheese, and a pinch of avocado, tomato, green onions, and cilantro (and any additional ingredients you’re using).
