Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
Juice of 2 limes (1/4 cup)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 green cabbage, sliced (about 8 cups)
1/2 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
Canola oil, for frying
1 pound catfish or other firm white fish fillets, cut into 1-by-2-inch pieces (about 24 total)
3 teaspoons taco seasoning
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 large egg
1/4 cup pilsner or lager beer
1/4 cup hot sauce, plus additional for assembly and serving
Four 10-inch tortillas, such as flour, spinach or sun-dried tomato
1 avocado, sliced
1 cup crumbled tortilla chips
1/2 cup thinly sliced radishes

Steps:

  • Combine 1/4 cup sour cream, the mayonnaise, lime juice, cayenne, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the cabbage and cilantro and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Heat 1/2 inch of the oil in a cast-iron skillet to 345 degrees F. Lay out the fish pieces and pat dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle them with salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon taco seasoning.
  • Combine the breadcrumbs, flour and baking powder in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Combine the egg, beer, hot sauce and remaining 2 teaspoons of taco seasoning in a second bowl. Dip the fish in the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, and dredge in the flour mixture. Working in batches, fry in the hot oil, turning once, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes total. Remove with a slotted spoon or tongs and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Season with salt.
  • Lay out 1 tortilla on your work surface. Pile the following ingredients on top of each other in the middle of the tortilla in this order: 1 cup slaw, 6 pieces of the fried fish, a quarter of the avocado slices, a quarter of the crumbled tortilla chips and a quarter of the radishes. Smear 1 tablespoon of the remaining sour cream on the tortilla next to the avocado and add a few dashes of hot sauce; this will act as the glue to keep help keep everything together.
  • Carefully roll up the tortilla into a burrito and place seam-side down on your work surface. Insert 6 evenly-spaced skewers crosswise through the roll. Using a serrated knife, trim and discard the very ends of the roll (or eat them), and then slice between the skewers to create 6 skewered rounds. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

FISH TACO CABBAGE WRAPS



Fish Taco Cabbage Wraps image

Spicy white fish wrapped in cabbage with a tasty wasabi-mayonnaise sauce. A delicious and easy way to enjoy fish tacos on a low-carb diet! You can also add a quick fresh pico de gallo to this if your diet allows tomatoes. Delicious! I now enjoy this more than regular fish tacos. Try this also with halibut or tilapia.

Categories     Mexican

Time 28m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 teaspoon pure chile powder (try ancho or chipotle)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
3 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon minced canned chipotle chile in adobo
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 halibut fillets (each about 6 ounces and 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick) or 4 salmon fillets (each about 6 ounces and 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick)
vegetable oil
6 (10 inch) flour tortillas (I prefer crispness of taco shells)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl mix the rub ingredients. Lightly brush the fillets with oil and then apply the rub evenly. Cover and set aside in the refrigerator.
  • In a large bowl combine the slaw ingredients and toss to coat. Set aside until ready to assemble the wraps.
  • Prepare the grill for direct cooking over high heat (450° to 550°F).
  • Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the fillets over direct high heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until you can lift them with a spatula off the cooking grate without sticking, about 4 minutes. Turn the fillets over and cook them until they are opaque in the center, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Warm the tortillas over direct high heat for 30 seconds to 1 minute, turning once.
  • To assemble the wraps, break a fillet into large chunks and arrange on one half of a warm tortilla, then top with some of the slaw. Roll the tortilla to enclose the fillings, fold in the sides, and continue rolling to the end. Cut the wrap in half. Serve warm or at room temperature.

FISH TACO WRAP



Fish Taco Wrap image

This was a quick dinner I came up with. You can use any white fish. I used tilapia, but I might use haddock or cod next time. For the salsa, all I had on hand was Rotel tomatoes, which turned out good and spicy! You might find the cream cheese a bit weird as an ingredient. If so, you can omit that. This is for one serving, but easy to expand for more. See NOTE at the bottom for another way to prepare.

Time 25m

Yield 1 sandwich, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 burrito-size flour tortilla
1 -2 tablespoon light cream cheese
1 -2 tablespoon salsa
1 small white fish fillet, cooked
1 slice cheddar cheese (or American)
1/2 cup shredded lettuce

Steps:

  • Place a tortilla on a microwave-safe plate.
  • Spread cream cheese, then salsa on top.
  • Add Fish on top of salsa, then the slice of cheese and lettuce.
  • Microwave 30 seconds. This makes it easier to fold tortilla around filling.
  • Fold up burrito style, or like a large egg roll.
  • Enjoy!
  • NOTE: I find that the salsa tastes best at room temperature. If you want this sandwich warm, Bake at 400 for 5-10 minutes. I just threw mine together after the fish was cooked, and I found it very satisfying.
