Ingredients:

Sauce Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup low-fat mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream
  • 1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

Fish Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup AllWhites® egg whites
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • Salt and chili powder to taste
  • 1 pound mild white fish*, cut into strips
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1-1/2 cups finely shredded red cabbage
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 8 (6 inch) corn tortillas, warmed

Instructions:

  1. Mix all sauce ingredients in small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
  2. Pour AllWhites egg whites into shallow dish. Place cornmeal, salt and chili powder in a second shallow dish. Dip fish strips in AllWhites, then dredge in seasoned cornmeal, shaking off excess.
  3. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook fish strips 2 to 4 minutes, turning once, until golden brown (do this in batches).
  4. Serve fish wrapped in warm tortillas, garnished with cabbage, cilantro, and a spoonful of sauce.

Tips & Substitutions:

*Tilapia, red snapper, cod, or halibut are all good options.

Serve tacos with green taco sauce or a bottled chipotle mayo if time is short.

And add some chopped ripe avocado.

Bake the fish, with a light coating of cooking spray, for a lighter dish.
