Description
Delicious blackened fish tacos with zesty chipotle-lime sauce, perfect for a quick meal or a party pleaser.
Ingredients
- Fish fillets (such as tilapia or snapper)
- Blackening seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Corn tortillas
- Shredded cabbage
- Chipotle-lime sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo, minced
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the skillet: Set your skillet over medium-high heat and allow it to warm up for about 3 minutes until it’s sizzling hot.
- Season the fish: Generously coat both sides of the fish fillets with the blackening seasoning mixture, ensuring an even coverage for maximum flavor.
- Cook the fish: Add a drizzle of oil to the hot skillet. Place the seasoned fish in the pan, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Warm the tortillas: In a separate pan or microwave, warm the corn tortillas until just soft and pliable, about 30 seconds on high in the microwave or 1 minute on the stove.
- Assemble the tacos: On each tortilla, place a generous piece of the blackened fish. Top with a handful of shredded cabbage for crunch and flavor. Drizzle the chipotle-lime sauce over the top to tie everything together beautifully.
- Serve immediately: These tacos are best enjoyed fresh, so dig right in and savor every bite!
Notes
Serve hot off the skillet with lime wedges and cilantro for garnish. Pair with cilantro-lime rice or corn salad.
