You need:
FISH:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
¼ teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound white flaky fish fillet, like tilapia, snapper, or halibut
CHIPOTLE CREAM:
½ cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons chipotle pepper, in adobo sauce (careful! it's hot!)
8 large, firm lettuce leaves
1 ½ cups shredded green cabbage (use pre-shredded coleslaw if you're rushed)
1 or 2 chopped roma tomatoes
¼ of a colorful sweet pepper
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves
Lime wedges
DIRECTIONS:
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 a paper 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 (chopped).
Flake the fish with a fork. Top each tortilla with 1 tablespoon of the chipotle cream. Top with fish, cabbage, peppers, tomatoes and cilantro.
Definitely have some napkins ready! Pick up the lettuce leaf like a taco shell and enjoy!
