Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chipotle Lime Grilled Fish Tacos.
Step 1
Begin by gathering all the essential ingredients for your delicious fish tacos.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, honey, seafood seasoning, hot pepper sauce, cumin, chili powder, and black pepper.
Step 3
Whisk these ingredients together until they form a harmonious marinade.
Step 4
Next, place the tilapia chunks in a shallow dish and generously pour the marinade over the fish.
Step 5
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 6
For the dressing, mix sour cream and adobo sauce in a separate bowl, then add lime juice, lime zest, seafood seasoning, cumin, and chili powder.
Step 7
Season with salt and pepper to your liking, cover, and refrigerate until you're ready to serve.
Step 8
When it's time to cook, preheat your outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate, positioning it about 4 inches from the heat source.
Step 9
Remove the tilapia from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and discard the marinade.
Step 10
Grill the fish for approximately 9 minutes, turning once, until it flakes easily with a fork.
Step 11
To assemble your tacos, place the grilled fish in the center of each tortilla and top with diced tomatoes, shredded cabbage, and fresh cilantro.
Step 12
Drizzle the prepared dressing over the top, then roll up the tortillas around the flavorful fillings.
Step 13
Serve your tacos with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
Step 14
Enjoy the vibrant flavors and the joy of sharing these delightful fish tacos with friends and family!.
