Ah...fish tacos!!!! Why they weren't a part of my childhood, I will never know, but as an adult I am FULLY in love with them! I love how fresh they are and how you can eat your fill and not be unhealthy. I love that you can use pretty much whatever fish you want and that you can get them from carts on the streets of LA! I love the sour bite of vinegar and the crunch of cabbage. Fish tacos are AMAZING!!!
I recently decided to make my own and after a complete FAIL of a first try I did a little research and came up with this recipe. Enjoy!!!
Fish Tacos
Makes 8 tacos
1 red onion, thinly sliced
About 1 1/2 c. red wine vinegar
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 pound flaky white fish (cod or catfish will totally work here!)
Salt
Corn tortillas
Sour cream (or Mexican creme)
Tomatoes
Shredded cabbage
Cilantro
2 limes, cut into wedges
Marinated onions:
- Slice red onions and place them in a bowl
- Pour enough red wine vinegar over the onions to cover them
- Allow them to sit for at least 30 minutes
Seasoning and cooking the fish:
- Mix olive oil, chili powder, cumin and a dash of salt in a small bowl
- Cut the fish into slices about a finger's width wide
- Place fish on a plate or platter and drizzle the "marinade" over the fish
- Rub the mixture all over the fish and let sit for 20 minutes
- Heat your oven to 350F
- Line a cookie sheet with foil and spray with cooking oil
- Place fish on cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, just until fish is cooked through
Assemble your tacos:
- Heat your tortillas
- Load up your tortillas with all of the good stuff (fish, onions, cabbage, tomatoes, sour cream, cilantro...)
- Squeeze a lime wedge over your tacos and eat!

Sounds lovely. I have one that uses halibut with cilantro and lime that we love. We may have to have a fish taco cook off.
Oh my! I love fish tacos! Hope you'r doing good Erin!
Oooh! I just made cod for dinner, but I'll have to think of this next time! Yum!
