That's what we made tonight, and it's an appropriate topic for my first blog since fish tacos are probably my favorite food in the world. If I was stranded on a desert island with only one choice of food, my choice would be fish tacos. This is convenient because if I was stranded on a desert island fish would likely be one of the few available choices of food. The tortillas would likely be more problematic, but I think I'd make do. (Palm leaves? Coconut husks? This would be a tropical desert island). Some of the garnishes and accoutrements might also prove rather challenging; however, I don't carry a bottle of tapatio and a clove of garlic with me at all times to ward off vampires. (Side note: If I was stranded on a dessert island, my choice would be strawberry-rhubarb pie, hands down.)
Strangely enough, good fish tacos are hard to find, even in coastal areas. But if you have a hankering, and you should, here's a good recipe that we tested tonight and it is delicious. Here's what you'll need:
Talapia (or similar fish), marinated in chile and lime sauce
Tortillas (we used corn, but flour would probably be better. The small flour ones.)
Avocado
Cilantro
Yellow Onion
Chipotle Mayo (Chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, garlic, mayo-go easy, salt, and oregano.)
1 jalapeno chile
We grilled the tilapia and the jalapeno, and made the chipotle mayo in a food processor. We also warmed the tortillas on the BBQ coals. Assemble into a taco and, voila, delicious, genius fish tacos. That's how you do it.
