Grilled Baja-Style Fish Tacos

A popular and easily portable meal

Grilled Fish Tacos recipe to prevent colon cancer

Recipe for grilled Baja-style fish tacos from the American Cancer Society — Tom Hirschfeld/bonafidefarmfood.com

Fish tacos are an easy, healthy meal and a great party item as well.

Serves  4

Prep time: 30 minutes or less including marinating

Total Time: 45 Minutes or less

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided

1 pound swordfish steak or other hearty white fish fillets

(such as halibut or cod)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1/4 cup reduced-fat or regular sour cream

1/4 cup good quality light mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's

1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped

8 (6-inch) corn tortillas

1 cup shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix

1 tomato, chopped, or Fresh Tomato Salsa or Tomatillo Salsa

(recipes below)

In a shallow plate, combine oil and 1 tablespoon lime juice.

Add fish, turning to coat, and marinate for 15 minutes.

Preheat a lightly oiled grill to medium-high.

Remove fish from marinade and sprinkle with salt and

pepper. Grill fish for 4 to 7 minutes per side, or until cooked

through. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before

slicing into 1/3- to 1/2-inch thick pieces.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine cilantro, sour cream,

mayonnaise, jalapeño and the remaining 1 tablespoon

lime juice.

Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and warm in the

microwave on HIGH for 15 to 30 seconds.

Top each tortilla with cabbage, sour cream mixture and

fish. Sprinkle with tomatoes.
