FISH TACOS


Really? Need I say more? We eat some damn fine food around here...

Fish Tacos with Lime Sauce: 

1 lb. fresh tilapia or catfish (i've used neither - cod and haddock are both stellar) 
2 limes
1/2 c plain yogurt (original recipe calls for mayo) 
1 t (MORE!) chili powder
1/3 c flour (or, cornmeal or GF flour for the gluten-free folks) 
8 small corn tortillas
1 c shredded cabbage
2 carrots, peeled and shredded
1 avocado
1 jalapeno or serrano pepper, thinly sliced 

Rinse and dry fish. Cut into 1 inch pieces. 
For lime sauce, juice the limes into a bowl, stir in yogurt and chili powder. Remove 1/3 of this sauce and toss fish pieces in it. 
In a large skillet, heat 2 T olive oil over medium heat. In a shallow dish combine flour and a dash of salt and pepper. Working with half the fish at a time, lightly toss in flour mixture and add to hot oil. Cook 2-4 minutes turning over to brown. Drain on paper towels. 
Wrap tortillas in moist paper towels and heat in microwave for 45 seconds. Top tortillas with fish, cabbage, carrots, avocado, and drizzle with lime sauce. ENJOY!
