Cilantro-Lime Vinaigrette Grilled Fish Tacos

Cilantro-Lime Vinaigrette Grilled Fish Tacos
from Our Best Bites

Cilantro-Lime Vinaigrette
INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2-3 juicy limes)
1/4 cup white wine vinegar or rice vinegar
4-5 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp Kosher or sea salt
2 tsp sugar
1 cup canola oil
1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro, stems removed

DIRECTIONS:
1. In the jar of your blender, combine lime juice, vinegar, garlic, salt, and sugar. Blend until ingredients are completely combined.
2. With the blender running, add the oil in a steady stream. Add cilantro and blend until the cilantro has broken down but still maintains some of its texture.

Grilled Fish Tacos
INGREDIENTS:
White fish (cod, tilapia, red snapper, mahi mahi) we used mahi mahi
Cilantro-Lime Vinaigrette
Corn tortillas
pico de gallo
cole slaw mix
guacamole
cheese
salt for seasoning

DIRECTIONS:
1. Marinade the fish for 20 minutes in the cilantro-lime vinaigrette.
2. Lightly brush grill with oil and cook fish over medium heat for 8-12 minutes, until fish flakes easily. Flake fish and season with salt.
3. Serve the fish in the corn tortillas with toppings.

Joe and the girls really enjoyed these fish tacos. I don't love Mahi Mahi but the vinaigrette marinade was great. We served the tacos with Cilantro Lime Rice.
