Ingredients
-
¼ cup olive oil
-
¼ cup chili powder
-
2 teaspoons Mexican oregano
-
2 teaspoons cumin seeds, toasted and ground
-
1 teaspoon ground chipotle chile powder
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon ground coriander
-
1 lime, zested and juiced
-
1 ½ pounds tilapia fillets
Chipotle Spread:
-
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
-
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, or more to taste
-
½ teaspoon ground cumin
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
12 (6 inch) corn tortillas, warmed
Directions
-
Mix 1/4 cup olive oil, chili powder, Mexican oregano, cumin, chipotle powder, salt, coriander, lime zest, and lime juice together in a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Add tilapia and toss gently until well coated. Marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
-
Meanwhile, combine cream cheese, yogurt, garlic, chipotle in adobo, and cumin for spread in a bowl. Set aside.
-
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Coat a grill basket with 2 tablespoons olive oil; place fish into the prepared basket.
-
Cook the fish on the preheated grill just until it flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes.
-
Serve on warm tortillas with chipotle spread.
Cook's Notes:
You can use any mild white fish--tilapia, cod, sole, etc. You may also substitute shrimp.
You can use 1 finely chopped chipotle pepper in adobo sauce instead of 1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder. For the spread, you can use 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder instead of chipotle peppers in adobo.
You can use light sour cream instead of plain yogurt, and flour tortillas instead of corn, if preferred.
