We love a good lettuce wrap taco bar for dinner. Tonight we tried something new — these pan seared Tilapia filets served as our protein. Toppings included fresh avocado, salsa, cheese, then drizzled with a yummy chipotle aioli and fresh lime juice. Oh yeah, Baby!
How to Make It
Choose your favorite taco toppings to go with the following:
The Fish
Salt and pepper your tilapia filets and then pan sear them in about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a medium-high heated skillet. 2-3 minutes each side is all you should need.
Chipotle Aioli (Sort of)
I make this fake Aioli, sans eggs, for Michael since he hates eggs. It's become one of our favorite sauces for all sorts of things.
Use en immersion blender to blend the following ingredients: about 1/4 cup canned chipotle chiles (rinsed of seeds), 1/2 of a very ripe avocado, 1/2 cup sour cream, juice from 1/2 lime, a splash of cream until it's the consistency you want, then salt to taste.
