Fish
Season fish with cumin, coriander, paprika, red pepper & garlic powder, place on hot grill for 4 -5 minutes on each side (depending on thickness).

You may also make an extra light version of this recipe by omitted the tortillas and places the fish steaks on a bed of cabbage and topping the fish with the sauce. This lighter version shaves off about 113 calories and 1.5 g of fat

    Bad
    The sauce was very acidic as I used 1 1/2 squeezed limes. My husband couldn't eat it. The sauce needs work or taste it first or you may get a sour surprise. Definitely needs avocado as a topping. - 1/13/12

    I changed a few things with this. I did make it with Mahi-Mahi, but without the seasonings due to making a mango/avocado salsa. I love the cream sauce. I did omit the onions due to my personal preference. It is a great meal! - 12/5/11

    These blew our minds. We have been wanting to try fish tacos for a while but always talked ourselves out of them. Not anymore! We are looking forward to leftovers for lunch tomorrow. My husband raved about them. Thanks for the recipe. - 9/17/11

    These are great! Only difference was I used tilapia and baked the fish at 425 for 15 minutes (I like a dry fish). I also cut up some celery for extra crunch and threw that on top of the fish.. - 2/20/11

    Wow! We loved it! I didn't follow the seasoning part for the fish--just sprinkled a little cajun seasoning on it. The sauce was amazing. We added avacado, tomato and salsa. Definetely making again! - 2/16/10

    These were good and it was nice to try something different. I thought the seasoning was on the verge of too spicy for me. Next time I may ration it out a little better. Thanks. - 3/2/09
