How to Make Them
What kind of fish can I use?
For these tacos, it’s best to use a white-fleshed and mild-tasting fish. I used cod, but tilapia, halibut, and snapper are also all good options. The fish you use should be as fresh as you can get and from a sustainable source. If you do use frozen fillets, ensure they are fully defrosted before you marinate them.
Are these tacos healthy?
Because the fish is grilled, or cooked in a skillet, it is a much healthier option than frying it. It’s easier too! Be sure to ditch the store-bought chipotle sauce and make this one – it contains no added sugar and doesn’t contain the preservatives and additives that the jarred stuff does. It tastes a lot fresher, too!
Chef’s Tips
Use the freshest fish you can.If cooking the fish on the grill, wipe the grates with a little oil so the fish doesn’t stick.The chipotle sauce and coleslaw can be made ahead of time and kept covered in the fridge.Serve the tacos immediately.
