Grilled Fish Tacos With Chipotle Cream Recipes

FISH TACOS WITH CHIPOTLE CREAM

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lime juice, salt and pepper. Pour over the fish fillets and let marinate for 20 minutes. Put the yogurt into a strainer lined with apaper towel and place over a bowl to drain and thicken for 20 minutes.
• Remove the fish from the marinade and grill on a preheated grill or nonstick grill pan over a medium-high heat until cooked thorough, about 3 minutes per side. Set the fish aside on a plate for 5 minutes.
• In a small bowl combine the thickened yogurt, mayonnaise, and chipotle pepper.
• Heat the tortillas on the grill or grill pan for 30 seconds on each side.
• Flake the fish with a fork. Top each tortilla with 1 tablespoon of the chipotle cream. Top with fish, cabbage, corn and cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

GRILLED FISH TACOS WITH CHIPOTLE-LIME DRESSING

Steps:

• To make the marinade, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, lime zest, honey, garlic, cumin, chili powder, seafood seasoning, black pepper, and hot sauce in a bowl until blended. Place the tilapia in a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the fish. Cover, and refrigerate 6 to 8 hours.
• To make the dressing, combine the sour cream and adobo sauce in a bowl. Stir in the lime juice, lime zest, cumin, chili powder, seafood seasoning. Add salt, and pepper in desired amounts. Cover, and refrigerate until needed.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate. Set grate 4 inches from the heat.
• Remove fish from marinade, drain off any excess and discard marinade. Grill fish pieces until easily flaked with a fork, turning once, about 9 minutes.
• Assemble tacos by placing fish pieces in the center of tortillas with desired amounts of tomatoes, cilantro, and cabbage; drizzle with dressing. To serve, roll up tortillas around fillings, and garnish with lime wedges.

FISH TACOS WITH CREAMY CHIPOTLE SAUCE AND PICO DE GALLO

Steps:

• For the tortillas: Brush a hot griddle with oil and heat the tortillas on each side to brown them up a bit. Wrap them in foil to keep hot until it's time to eat.
• For the fish: In a bowl, combine the chile powder, garlic salt, lime juice and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Toss the mixture with the fish in a shallow container and marinate for 15 minutes.
• For the chipotle sauce: In the meantime, combine the mayonnaise, cilantro, honey, chipotles, lime juice and salt in a food processor and blend until creamy and smooth. Transfer the sauce to a container (I like to store it in a squeeze bottle) and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Put the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the fish and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and flake with a fork.
• To build each taco, spoon some fish onto 2 stacked tortillas (see Cook's Note). Top with some chipotle sauce, cabbage, cilantro and Pico de Gallo.
• In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, cilantro and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.

GRILLED FISH TACOS WITH CHIPOTLE CREMA

Steps:

• Make the chipotle crema: In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise and sour cream until combined. Squeeze in lime juice, to taste, and whisk. Add salt, pepper and chipotle, to taste.
• Make the tacos: Heat a large skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes. Meanwhile, pour a few tablespoons of oil in a small bowl. Separate the corn tortillas from each other but keep them in a stack then run the outer edges through the oil. Add a few tortillas at a time to the dry skillet and heat until soft and hot, about 30 seconds per side. Wrap the tortillas in a clean, dry kitchen towel or place in a tortilla warmer, to keep warm.
• Heat a grill pan or grill over high heat for at least 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice the fish fillets into 1-by-2-inch strips. Pat dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt and a pinch of pepper.
• Wipe the grill pan or grill grates with a lightly oiled towel right before cooking to remove any char and debris. (This will give you great grill marks and help the fish from sticking.) Working in batches, cook the fish strips in a single layer just until they are opaque and flake in the middle (making sure not to overcook them), about 2 minutes per side.
• Top each tortilla with 3 fish strips, a pinch of the cabbage and a drizzle of the crema. Serve right away with lime wedges and pico de gallo or hot sauce on the side.

FISH TACOS WITH CHIPOTLE CREAM

Steps:

• Spray a broiler rack with cooking spray; preheat the broiler.
• Stir together the sour cream and chipotles in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Sprinkle the fish with the chili powder, salt and pepper. Spray lightly with olive oil cooking spray and place on the broiler rack. Broil 5 inches from the heat until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, 3-5 minutes. Divide the fish among the tortillas, and top with the sour cream mixture and cabbage.

GRILLED STEAK TACOS WITH CHIPOTLE CREAM AND CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• For the chimichurri: While the steak rests, place the cilantro leaves, onion, remaining 4 cloves garlic, juice of 1 lime, and remaining 1/3 cup vinegar to a blender and puree until combined. With the blender on low speed, drizzle in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil in a slow stream. Remove the sauce from the blender and stir in the red pepper flakes and salt, to taste.
• For the chipotle cream: Combine the sour cream, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, juice of 1/2 lime, and pinch of salt.
• Place the steak, 3 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons each olive oil and vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and Dijon mustard in a resealable bag. Rub the ingredients into the meat and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 2 hours.
• After 2 hours, remove the meat from the bag and pat dry to remove any excess moisture. Lightly season both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Spray an indoor, stovetop grill with nonstick cooking spray and preheat on medium-high heat. Place the steak on the preheated grill and grill about 6 minutes on each side for medium rare. After grilling the steak, cover with tented foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes, before thinly slicing across the grain.
• To serve, top each warm tortilla with some mixed greens and sliced steak. Drizzle with the chimichurri and chipotle cream.
• Servings: 4 to 6 tacos

BAJA FISH TACOS WITH CHIPOTLE CREAM

Steps:

• FISH TACOS: Heat peanut oil to 350F in a large dutch oven or deep fryer. In a 9" x13" glass dish, combine club soda and tempura batter mix. Season fish with salt and pepper. Coat pieces of fish in batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil to cook.
• Fry for about 3 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Warm tortillas in the microwave or in a dry skillet over medium heat. Pile some fried fish on each corn tortilla and top with chipotle cream, red onion, cabbage and cilantro sprigs. Squeeze on some fresh lime juice and enjoy.
• CHIPOTLE CREAM: Combine ingredients in a small mixing bowl with a spoon or rubber spatula until combined, adding more or less chipotle according to your taste.
