Fish Tacos

While thinking about our trip to San Antonio a couple of years back, my mind wandered to the great food we had. One of the best meals I had was at a place on the River Walk that had great Tex-Mex.

I had the fish tacos, so this is my attempt to recreate that wonderful meal.

Fish Tacos

Fish Tacos

Prep Time: About 10 minutes         Cook Time: 17-20 minutes

Ingredients for Fish Tacos:
1 pound fresh Cod fillet

½ tsp chili powder

½ tsp paprika

¼ ground cumin

¼  ground cayenne

1 cup red cabbage, diced

8-10 corn tortillas (about 5"or 6")

Spicy Mayo

Super Easy Guacamole

Optional Additions:

sour cream

2 limes, cut in wedges

fresh cilantro, chopped
tomatoes, diced

Ingredients for Spicy Mayo:

1 cup mayo

¼ cup hot chili paste

Prepare the Spicy Mayo and Super Easy Guacamole before you start making the tacos. 

Preheat oven to 400º. Place cod on baking sheet. Mix the spices in a small bowl and sprinkle over the fish fillet. Place baking sheet with prepared fish in the oven and bake for 17-20 minutes. Check the thickest part of the fillet to see if it's done. Fish is done when it is opaque in color and pulls apart easily. Do not over bake the fish.

While the fish is baking, prepare the corn tortillas. Use a griddle or shallow pan to warm them. On med to med high heat warm the tortillas for 1-2 minutes per side. This all depends on how you like them. You can also use flour tortillas if you prefer. 

When the fish and tortillas are done, it's time to assemble the taco. 

Spread the Spicy Mayo on the tortilla, top with a piece of the fish, Super Easy Guacamole, small amount of diced red cabbage, sour cream, cilantro, or any other toppings that you like.

 Remember the more you put on the taco the harder it will be to eat. Everything with ooze out if it's over-filled. Serve with Homemade Refried Beans and Spanish Rice.

Spicy Mayo

1 cup mayo

¼ cup hot chili paste

Mix in small bowl and chill in fridge for about 2 hours.

 Great with fish, chicken, sushi, etc.

(I can usually find the chili paste in the produce section of my local stores.)
