I don’t know about you guys, but I for one absolutely love fish tacos. Just ask my friends – that’s just about the only thing I ever order at a Mexican restaurant. Don’t get me wrong, I know there are a plethora of other dishes that I could try, but when it comes to Mexican food, I am relatively conservative in this respect.
While I am a fan of the fish tacos at Tacofino, as a self-proclaimed health-nut, I’m always on the lookout for a healthier alternative . Let me assure you that this recipe is healthy and delicious– I know, crazy right?
Word of caution – these tacos are addictive, so don’t be surprised if you end up eating more than you thought you could, or decide to go on a Taco-Cleanse.
Fish Tacos With Cabbage Slaw
Ingredients
Instructions
Place the fish in a tray and squeeze half a lime over it.
Add the chopped garlic, cumin, chili powder and 1 tablespoon of oil.
Season with salt and pepper and turn the fish in the marinade until evenly coated.
Refrigerate the fish for 15-20 minutes.
Add the cabbage, onions and cilantro into a bowl.
Toss with the remaining half of 1 lime and 1 tablespoon of oil. Season with salt and pepper, add more if needed.
Heat up a frying-pan or grill on medium heat, and add tortillas one at a time to warm both sides, about 4 minutes in total. Set aside.
Lightly oil a pan and heat on medium-high heat until hot. Remove fish from tray and place in the pan.
Cook both sides of the fish until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes for each side (don’t worry if the fish breaks apart). Transfer the fish to a plate.
To assemble each taco, break up some of the cooked fish and place it on the tortilla.
Top with a large spoonful of coleslaw and squeeze lime if necessary. Serve and enjoy!
