Note: This recipe appears in the WW Tastier than Takeout Cookbook. I have always wanted to try fish tacos and this recipe looked too good to pass up. Plus, I was cleaning out the fridge and had all the ingredient and some to make these. These were totally different yet so delicious. When I normally eat tacos, they usually contain beef but fish tacos filled with vegetables and the right seasoning really wake up my taste buds. You can use any kind of white fish in these tacos and it will still be delicious. I used tilapia and the tacos were nice. If you don't have any chipotles en adobo, use any other kind of chili. I recommend doing a few things in making these fish tacos: add garlic to the sour cream mixture because garlic always make everything better, I added cumin along with the chili powder because chili powder and cumin always add heat and flavor to any Mexican dish, add radishes or jicama for a more healthy vegetable crunch, and use the Chipotle Infused Extra-Virgin Olive Oil from the Imperial Olive.
