Fish Tacos with Lime-Cilantro Creme.

While nothing compares to a Rubio's fish taco, these are the best homemade {non deep fried} fish tacos that I've had.


Creme:
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons fat-free mayonnaise
3 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
1 teaspoon grated lime rind
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 garlic clove, minced

Tacos:
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 pounds red snapper fillets {or other white fish}
Cooking spray 8 {6-inch} corn tortillas
2 cups shredded cabbage
Preheat oven to 425°.

To prepare creme, combine all ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.

To prepare tacos, combine cumin, coriander, paprika, red pepper, salt, and garlic powder in a small bowl; sprinkle spice mixture evenly over both sides of fish. Place fish on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.

Bake at 425° for 9 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Place fish in a bowl; break into pieces with a fork.

Heat tortillas according to package directions.

Divide fish evenly among tortillas; top each with 1/4 cup cabbage and 1 tablespoon creme.

Serve with lime wedges and salsa.

Yield 4 servings {serving size: 2 tacos}.

There's a fish taco joint here called Wahoo's Fish Taco. It's really good! I haven't tried the fish tacos at Rubio yet, but I will. I love fish tacos! Thanks for the recipe!
