Reviews for Fish Tacos with Creamy Lime Guacamole and Cabbage Slaw

Go back to recipe

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!

I used Wahoo instead of snapper and I baked it instead of grilled (I don't have a grill) but the guacamole with the yogurt gave it a great texture and it turned out great.

While I do credit this recipie for getting me to "think outside the bun" I agree with uvakat, the fish tacos were a little disappointing to me. The cut of fish a little pricey for the hamburger/hotdog crowd. I'd suggest grilled shrimp or flank steak above this fish - other dishes from this article were a great hit. This was a hit, but a sublime meal. I wasn't wowwed. It could have had more crunch, more spice. salt.

Even with the crunch of the cabbage, these tacos are missing something. It's a good recipe--but not an exceptional one. I tried the recipe as is, to truly experience it. When I make in the future, I'll add chopped onions vs. minced for texture, 2 small jalapenos vs. 1 for zing, and *maybe* a few cellophane noodles per taco for crunch (the texture of the tacos was too creamy). Certainly give these tacos a try -- the snapper makes for a tasty, healthy meal.
