From The Food & Mood Cookbook by Elizabeth Somer and Jeanette Williams
The sliced mangos add a tropical twist to complement the warmth of the Chipotle peppers.
This is a great Friday night dinner!
Ingredients:
4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless fish fillets, about 1-inch thick (halibut, sea bass, cod, red snapper)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil
Chipotle Coleslaw:
4 cups prepared coleslaw mix
1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon canned chipotle peppers, minced in Adobo sauce
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
8 (10-inch) whole wheat tortillas, warmed
1 mango, peeled, pitted, and thinly sliced
cooking spray
Directions:
1) Rinse, pat dry fish fillets. Set aside.
2) In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, lemon juice, Creole seasoning, and oil. Spoon marinade on fish fillets to coat. Cover, place in refrigerator until ready to grill. (Up to 1 hour).
3) In a medium bowl, add prepared coleslaw mix. Set aside.
4) In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, lemon juice, and cilantro. Pour over coleslaw mix. Toss well to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. (Up to 1 hour).
5) Spray grill with cooking spray. Heat grill to medium-high. Remove fish fillets from marinade. Place on grill. Cover lid and cook 3 minutes on each side, or until no longer opaque in center. Remove from grill. Separate fish into 2-inch chunks with a fork. Cover to keep warm.
6) To assemble: Set up buffet style. Let everyone make their own fajitas. Place grilled fish on a plate, next to warm tortillas, coleslaw, and sliced mango. Spoon several pieces of grilled fish on bottom end of tortillas, cover with coleslaw, add mango slices. Fold over, roll up, and eat. Makes 8 fajitas.
