[highlight]Fresh, light, and healthy grilled fish tacos served with a spicy avocado sauce. Perfect for any fiesta! [/highlight]
I love fish tacos. I love them so much that when Dan and I got married, we served Rubio’s Fish Tacos at our wedding. Much to my mother’s dismay (love you mom). But they were a hit, because who doesn’t love fish tacos?
I wanted to create a recipe that still had the same great flavor as traditional fish tacos, but that cut back on the calories a bit. Traditional fish tacos often use breaded fish that is deep fried and some type of sour cream based sauce on top.
I lightened mine up by grilling fresh mahi-mahi and focused on adding fresh, flavorful toppings like cabbage, jalapeño, lime, and cilantro. They compliment the grilled fish nicely and add so much flavor that you don’t need heavy sour cream or cheese to get a filling, flavorful taco.
My favorite part is the Avocado Jalapeño Cream to drizzle on top. I used fresh avocado, cilantro, greek yogurt, jalapeño and lime to create this spicy, creamy sauce. It is the perfect sauce for these grilled fish tacos! The avocado gives it such a creamy texture and the jalapeños give it a nice kick of heat.
I served mine on charbroiled corn tortillas but they would taste amazing with flour tortillas or even on chips (nacho style).
Are you a fish taco fan?
Yum, I love fish tacos! When I lived in San Diego, I went to a place that had the absolute best ones I’ve ever had!
I’ve had so many great fish tacos in the San Diego area! We are pretty lucky that California has such amazing tacos! My relatives in Illinois and Indiana always want to eat tacos when they come visit.
Love fish tacos! Making some this week with a similar avocado crema!
