Fish Tacos with a Kick!

A friend of mine passed this one along to me and I thought I would pass it along to all of you! Serve it with a side of Brown Rice or some fresh fruit like Pineapple or Mango.

 Fish Tacos with a Kick

Preparation

4 servings
Serving size: 1 taco
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 45 minutes (including 30 minutes of marinating)

  Ingredients

2 limes, juiced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbsp. minced cilantro
1 tsp. Frank's Hot Sauce
1 lb. mahimahi or orange roughy fish fillets
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp. olive oil
4 (6-inch) whole-wheat or corn tortillas, warmed

Sauce
1/3 cup nonfat sour cream or nonfat Greek yogurt
¼ cup diced fresh avocado
1 small tomato, diced
¼ cup red onion, diced
2 Tbsp. minced cilantro
1 Tbsp. canned green chilies
1 cup chopped cabbage

 1. In a medium bowl, combine the lime juice, garlic, cilantro, and hot sauce. Add the fish and turn to coat. Let the fish marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator, turning once after 15 minutes.
   2. Remove the fish from the marinade and pat slightly dry. Add the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
   3. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add the fish and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side or until tender and cooked through.
   4. Remove the fish from the pan and cut into bite-sized pieces.
   5. Combine the sauce ingredients. Divide the fish among the warmed tortillas. Top with the sauce. Fold over the sides to form a taco to eat.
