Homemade Fish Tacos with a Chipotle and Lime Cream Sauce

So the other day I was really craving some good fish tacos, and I could not find any place around where we live to get them for any price cheap, so we decided that we would make some ourselves. It is a really simple recipe that gives great delicious results!

Ingredients:

A few pieces of a white, flaky fish like tilapia (1 piece of fish makes 2 fish tacos)

4 limes

Dry cole slaw

1/2 cup plain yogurt

1/4 cup mayonnaise

Flour tortillas

Salt and pepper

Flour (enough to cover the fish)

Oil (for cooking and marinating)

Chipotle pepper

Directions:

1. Begin by cutting and juicing 3 of the limes into a bowl, and adding in about a 1/4 of oil along with the salt and pepper and whatever other spices you would like. Add in the fish and let sit for ~20 minutes.

2. While this is marinating, put the yogurt into a colander lined with a paper towel and let that sit over a bowl for ~20 minutes. 

3. After the fish has let sit for ~20 minutes, flour both sides of the fish until it is completely covered and put into a hot pan with your cooking oil.

4. The fish cooks fast so this step should not take too long, ~2-4 minutes on both sides, and the fish should be just a little crispy. Remove and put onto a paper towel to dry.

5. Next, finish making the chipotle cream sauce. Mix together the drained yogurt, the mayonnaise, and the chipotle pepper. For more heat, add more pepper. And then add about half of a lime's worth of juice and mix together.

6. With the remaining oil in the pan you can choose to quickly cook the tortillas, about a minute on either side, but that is entirely up to you. I like mine crisped up a bit, Teia likes her tortillas to be more floppy.

7. Now it is time to combine all of these together. So start with the tortilla, followed by the fish, the dry slaw, and finally topped with a generous dollop or two of the cream sauce.

8. Teia would also like to say that she put slices of avocado on hers, and she loved it, so that is another little alternative to the recipe.

I hope this works great for people! It really is delicious and goes well with some margaritas ;)
