fish tacos with guacamole sauce

when family comes to dinner...i like to make things that are family style, super simple, and fresh tasting.  these tacos are so simple that it is as easy as slicing some veggies, sauteing some fish with a salt and lime, and heating corn tortillas.  an added homemade sauce makes it seem a little more gourmet and really ties it all together.  everyone can serve themselves and create a delicious taco with the toppings they desire....i love this recipe because everything can be prepped and ready and you will just have to heat the tortillas and cook the fish (which takes less than 10 mins) when the guests arrive....

ingredients/supplies (serves 6--about 2 tacos for each person):
2.5 pounds of light white fish (i like using wild caught sole)
1 small green cabbage
1 red onion
6 limes
1 bunch of cilantro
1 box of organic baby heirloom or cherry tomatoes
2 jalapenos
3 large avocados
6 ounces of plain goat yogurt (you can use plain yogurt if you are opposed to goat)
1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
salt to taste
corn tortillas
a knife, a cutting board, a flat saute pan, a cookie sheet, a small cuisinart or blender, and a mandolin (if you have one)

prepping/chopping/cooking:

prep:
-sprinkle salt and squeeze 1 lime over fish and set aside
-heat oven to 350
-set saute pan on stove
-wash veggies

chop:
-slice red onion for taco topping
-slice cabbage for taco topping
-de-vein, de-seed, and dice jalapeno for taco topping
-slice tomato for taco topping
-slice 4 limes into squeezable wedges to serve with tacos
-slice 2 avacados for taco toppings
-rip the leaves off the cilantro for taco toppings
(i use a mandolin slice the red onion and the green cabbage finely...this kitchen tool is considered one of the most dangerous so be careful when using it...if you don't have a mandolin...just slice as finely as possible)
-cut 1 avocado and set aside for sauce
-slice 2 limes and set side for sauce

cooking:
-avocado sauce: put 1 avocado, 4 ounces of yogurt, squeeze 2 limes, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper in a blender or small cuisinart and blend until smooth...add more cayenne and salt to taste
-place corn tortillas on a cookie sheets and heat in oven
-heat pan on medium high with a tablespoon of olive oil
-saute fish in pan- flipping only once (about 3-4 mins or less per side)

place fish on a platter and place all toppings on a separate platter...serve with warm tortillas.  you can even pick up your favorite salsa from a restaurant (my friend ali taught me that...such an easy way to have your favorite restaurant flavors at home) and serve it as an additional side for the tacos or with chips...

enjoy!
