Chipotle Sauce
1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
4-7 ounces chipotle chilies in adobo (more or less to taste), finely chopped
Combine and refrigerate for at least an hour. Can be made a day ahead.
Cilantro Lime Slaw
This is fantastic with fish tacos. It really balances the heat of the chipotle sauce.
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
juice of 2 limes
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
4 cups shredded cabbage (or pre-shredded slaw mix)
Blend everything except the yogurt and cabbage. Add yogurt and mix just until combined. Pour over cabbage and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to eat. Can be made a day ahead.
Tacos
2 tablespoons each ancho chile powder, garlic powder, paprika, and cumin
1 1/2 pounds cod
salt and pepper to taste
12 corn tortillas
2 tablepoon canola oil
lime wedges
avocado slices
cilantro leaves
Salt and pepper fish. Then combine seasonings in small dish and rub and coat fish with the mixture.
In a dry pan, heat to medium high. Cook tortillas about 30 seconds per side. Wrap in foil to keep warm. You can place the foil packet in the oven at a low temperature to keep warm while you cook the fish. Turn heat down to medium and add oil. When oil shimmers, add fish and cook about 4 minutes per side. Break fish into smaller pieces.

Time to assemble the tacos and eat! Place the fish on a tortilla, top with chipotle sauce, slaw, avocado, cilantro leaves, and a squeeze of lime. Serve the corn salad (recipe below) on the side. Life is good!
Corn Salad
I served this salad as a side dish for the tacos but when I had a taco bowl with the leftovers, I added it to the bowl.
2 cups frozen corn kernnels, thawed
2 medium tomatoes, diced
4 ounces queso fresco, crumbled
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 cup edamame
salt and pepper to taste
This one is pretty easy, just throw everything into a bowl and combine.
This is the fish taco bowl I made the next day and it was fantastic. It had everything above plus quinoa. Yum!
