Fish Taco!

In case you don't know, the very best fish tacos in the world are to be found in San Diego, but I'm here to tell you that a mighty fine fish taco can be had right here in good old Ann Arbor!

Here's what you'll need:

1 pound of cod
olive oil
spices for fish: chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt and pepper
a couple wedges of green and red cabbage, sliced thin
4 whole wheat tortillas

Chipotle Crema- this stuff is GOOOOOOD!

8 oz sour cream
1/2 t lime zest
2 T lime juice
a couple minced chipotle chilis in adobe sauce
1/2 t cumin
1/4 t salt

Combine all ingredients and put in the fridge for flavors to develop.

When ready to eat, put the spices on the fish and sauté in olive oil--the fish only takes a few minutes per side. Flake the fish into large bite-size pieces. Warm the tortillas.  On each tortilla, place some fish, some cabbage and some sauce and enjoy!!

Serve with roasted sweet potato wedges and a nice cold glass of Sangria!

  1. Yum! I love fish tacos--why have I never tried to make them? But now I will. I especially want to make the lime crema--in fact perhaps I will just eat a little bowl of that while the fish cooks...oh no, that would be wrong, wouldn't it? Got a recipe for the sangria?

  2. I feel the same way about that sauce! ha easy sangria: cut up apples and oranges and plop in cheap red wine, let sit in fridge. Before serving add ice, and top off with any variety of lemon/lime soda. The soda gives it the fizz and sweetens it a bit. You can add brandy too but I didn't have any.

  3. Sara, I've not joined your blog thus far because I've been lucky enough to eat every delicious dish. Today I just wanted to say that your fish tacos, with their amazingly delicious sauce, prevented me from ordering fish tacos when we went out to dinner the other night because I knew that they couldn't be as good as yours, which I had recently eaten.
