Enjoy these tacos on their own or with a delicious Mexican-inspired side like our roasted corn and avocado salad or spicy Mexican rice. Don’t skimp on the sauce – it’s totally delicious! The chipotle-lime taco sauce is creamy, slightly spicy, and customizable. You can adjust how spicy you want the sauce to be by adding more or less of the chipotles in adobo. And if you love Mexican seafood recipes, also try our shrimp tacos! Grilling fish is notoriously tricky so we recommend using a thick piece of fish like halibut or cod. Thin filets won’t hold up on the grill. Or if you have a grilling basket, that’s a great option too! If you love Mexican food as much as we do, also be sure to try our pork carnitas recipe!
Avocado oil – to make a seasoning paste for coating the fish. Avocado oil also has a higher smoke point so it’s great when grilling at higher temperatures. Seasonings – a flavorful mix of chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and cumin. Sea salt – a flavor enhancer that makes the other flavors pop! Fish – a thicker cut of white fish like halibut or cod will hold up well on the barbecue. Tortillas – we used 4″ corn tortillas but feel free to use your favorite tortillas. Cabbage – thinly sliced green cabbage for maximum crunch. Pico de gallo – this fresh salsa is so tasty, but you can use any salsa.
Sour cream + mayonnaise – make the base of the extra-creamy sauce. Cilantro – this classic Mexican herb adds a fresh bright taste. Chipotle peppers in adobo – these smoky and spicy little peppers in red sauce are so full of flavor and the star ingredient in this sauce. Lime – both lime juice and zest add brightness and a wonderful tangy taste. Garlic – for an extra snap and its unique pungent flavor. Sea salt – to bring everything together and enhance the other flavors.
For a heartier meal, serve these tacos with some shareable sides like our loaded food truck Mexican nacho fries, easy sweet potato nachos, or a bowl of our vegetarian tortilla soup.
