Fish Tacos With Chipotle Seasoning
When we visited Los Cabos, we travelled through few spots on the way to scenic spots.
We had coconut water on a way, it was really good. I was about to throw away the coconut, but the vendor stopped me. He cut open the whole coconut and removed layer of white coconut and transferred into small plastic bag. He added red chili pepper, salt and juiced it with wedge of lime. This was very unusual to see coconut prepared this way. It really tasted very good.
What that has to do with fish tacos? Well, the next stop was a road side taco restaurant. I was bit skeptical first to eat there. I typically order dishes with chicken but, the place were known for the best fish taco. So, we went along with the recommendation. This was the best fish taco I ever had.
Chipotle Fish Tacos
I have tried fish taco many place since then, but that taste and spice level of taco which I had in Cabos just stayed in my mouth. I just wanted to mimic that. It did come out surprising well!
I opt for some variation, in lieu of tomatillo sauce, I used guacamole spread instead.
Fish Tacos is a good dish for dinner or lunch. Crisped the fish in the Air Fryer, it can be baked in oven or in a pan. Season the veggies in a pan. Just assemble the lightly crisped corn-flour tortilla by layering spinach, veggies and fish. Spread the guacamole on the taco and enjoy!
