A fish taco kinda day

Rain, windstorm and finally a couple days of beautiful weather!  When the weather heats up I always feel like something light and refreshing for dinner, like fish tacos!  I found this Bobby Flay fish taco recipe online and, of course, tweaked it (see strikethroughs below).  It was the perfect meal after a day of hiking!

Ingredients:
1 pound white flaky fish, such as mahi mahi (I used tilapia because that's what was in the fridge)
1/4 cup canola oil olive oil
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoons ancho chili powder 1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 jalapeno, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
8 flour tortillas corn and wheat tortillas (from trader joes)



Garnish:
Shredded white cabbage
Hot sauce
Crema or sour cream
Thinly sliced red onion Finely diced white onion
Chopped cilantro leaves
Pureed Tomato Salsa Store bought salsa
Lime







Directions:
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place fish in a medium size dish. Whisk together the oil, lime juice, cayenne pepper, jalapeno, and cilantro and pour over the fish. Let marinate for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the fish from the marinade place onto a hot grill, flesh side down. Grill the fish for 4 minutes on the first side and then flip for 30 seconds and remove. Let rest for 5 minutes then flake the fish with a fork. Place the tortillas on the grill and grill for 20 seconds. Divide the fish among the tortillas and garnish with any or all of the garnishes.


Enjoy!
