Fish Tacos with Creamy Lime Guacamole and Cabbage Slaw

Rate & Review

(570 people have added this recipe to their favorites.)

Fish tacos are a staple among California surfers but are often beer-battered and fried. Kerry Simon’s healthier, grilled version enriches the guacamole with low-fat sour cream.

Pairing Suggestion

Fish tacos automatically bring to mind California and Mexico’s Pacific Coast. Go for a coastal Chardonnay as a match—cool ocean winds tend to give grapes good acidity, creating tangy wines that are delicious with creamy guacamole. The focused, lemony 2005 Ramey Sonoma Coast is a great choice, as is the peachy 2006 Cambria Katherine’s Vineyard.

Fish Tacos with Creamy Lime Guacamole and Cabbage Slaw

Very tasty! I used lemon sole tonight. I agree with the other posters in that any white fish would be great. The creamy guac. worked really well. I liked the fact that a really good portion of veggies was being worked into this. Good solid fare for a mid-week.

Tilapia fried in Panko, add cumin to the guac, sub spinach for the cabbage--this is my favorite meal.

Great recipe with a few modifications: seasoned the fish with smoked paprika in addition to the salt/pepper to punch up the flavor, broiled for ease instead of grilling, added 1-2 tbs of mayo to the slaw instead of oil, and used corn tortillas heated in the oven instead of flour. I used dover sole and think you could use any white fish. Serve with a few coronas or crisp sauv blanc. Definitely a winner in our house!
