I dream about the Baja Fish Tacos from @hiltonloscabos, so when I was there a couple weeks ago I was first in line at the cooking class to learn how to make them at home. It’s really all about using fresh fish and making the delicious sauces to accompany them. You could also use any protein like shrimp, chicken or even steak. Best served poolside with a marg. It doesn’t get any better than that!
Ingredients
- 1 lb mild white fish like halibut cod, or tilapia
- Kosher salt & pepper
- Juice from 1/2 lime
- 2 tsp avocado oil
- 4 flour tortillas I used @sietefoods almond flour
- 1 cup thinly shredded purple cabbage
- Lime wedges to finish
- Radish to garnish
Cilantro sauce:
- 1 cup cilantro leaves
- 2 tbsp avocado or olive oil
- 1 tbsp water
- Juice from 1 lime
- 1/2 tsp salt
Chipotle crema:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo you can find them canned in all grocery stores
- Juice and zest from 1 lime
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- First, make the two sauces by blending the ingredients in a blender. Set aside.
- Heat your grill or skillet over medium high heat.
- Cut your fish filet into 4 pieces and season with salt, pepper and lime juice. Drizzle with avocado oil to prevent sticking.
- Make sure your grill or skillet is properly greased and cook the fish for 2-3 minutes each side, or until cooked through. Cooking time will vary on the thickness of your filet.
- Serve on a warmed tortilla with shaved cabbage, sauces, radish and fresh lime.
