Fish Tacos.. My way!

The recipe is my version of a classic... fish tacos!  I am a big fan of fish tacos, but usually when I see this dish on menus in restaurants, the fish is battered, deep fried, topped with full-fat sour cream, a little bit of lettuce or cabbage, and tons of cheese then wrapped in a flour tortilla. Don't get me wrong, fish tacos prepared this way are absolutely irresistible in their fatty, creamy, fried goodness, but oh man, I feel like I need to be rolled home after eating something like this. What's the fun in eating food that makes you feel like crap afterwards?! Exactly. So I decided to make my own version of fish tacos at home with the same great fresh, mexican flavors; but without all the guilt. I steamed my fish instead of frying it, used a medium-sized, whole-wheat tortilla instead of the huge flour tortilla, and topped with a fresh cilantro, sour cream cabbage slaw, salsa and a little bit of cheese.  Few ingredients, not a lot of prep time and SO deliciously satisfying without all that fat and calories.  All I can say is that this is a MUST-TRY recipe ...  I promise you won't be disappointed!

FISH TACOS

Ingredients
(for 4 tacos)
1 lb meaty, white fish (halibut, mahi-mahi, cod, etc.; fresh or thawed from frozen) *Always remember to purchase sustainably caught fish- check this Sustainable Seafood Guide for more information (they even have a downloadable app!)
Mexican spices/herbs- salt/pepper, cumin, chili powder, cilantro
2 cups cabbage (green or red), chopped
1/2 cup green onions (or red onions), finely chopped
2 tblsp low-fat sour cream
Juice of one lime
4 whole-wheat tortillas (hard shell corn tacos work also!)
Additional toppings:
Shredded cheese
Salsa
Hot sauce

Directions: 
1. Top fish with a little bit of salt/pepper, cumin and chili powder, then steam (or broil) until cooked through and flaky. Break apart into bite-size chunks and put aside.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chopped cabbage, green onion, sour cream, lime juice and mix well. Add a few dashes of cumin and some fresh chopped (or dried) cilantro.

3. Time to start building the taco (or more like a burrito!). Put one tortilla on a plate and place 1/4 of the prepared fish in the center.

4. Add 1/4 of the cabbage mixture on top of the fish.

5. Top with whatever other toppings you'd like: salsa, cheese, hot sauce, etc. 

6. Fold over both ends in towards the center, take a big ol' bite out of it and prepare to be amazed!
