Ingredients
- •Tilapia, Fillet(454g)
- •salt and pepper
- •Olive oil(15g)
Regular (not extra-virgin) olive oil for high-heat cooking. EVOO for dressings.
- •Tortilla, Flour, 6-Inch
- •Avocado
- •Mango
- •Cabbage, Green(480g)
- •Carrots(160g)
- •Cilantro, Fresh(160g)
- •Green Onion (Scallion)(120g)
- •Lime Juice, Fresh(30g)
- •Sour Cream(240g)
Regular or fat-free both work. Fat-free is thinner but saves ~40 cal/serving.
- •Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- •Lime Juice, Fresh(30g)
- •pinch of salt
- •Honey(15g)
Instructions
- 1Season both sides of the fish with a few generous pinches of salt and pepper.
- 2Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the fish and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the fish is cooked through and opaque and flakes easily. (Cooking time will depend on the size/thickness of your fish.) Remove from heat and transfer fish to a separate plate. Use two forks to flake the fish into bite-sized pieces.
- 3Assemble your tacos by filling a tortilla (or I like using two tortillas) with your desired amount of fish, a few slices of avocado, mango slaw. Then drizzle with the zesty chipotle sauce.
- 4Serve immediately.
- 5Toss all ingredients together in a large bowl until combined.
- 6Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor. Process until completely smooth. (Or alternately, if you finely chop the chipotle peppers, you can just whisk this sauce together in a bowl until smooth.)
