Baja Fish Tacos

A refreshing take on ﬁsh tacos, with the added nutrition of quinoa.

8 oz. tri-color quinoa, dry (or use red or white)

2 cups. vegetable broth

10 oz. green cabbage, shredded

1½ cups Mexican crema (or 50/50 mayo and sour cream)

2 fresh limes for juice

1 large dried ancho chile, stem and seeds removed, soaked in water to rehydrate

1 bunch cilantro leaves

Salt, to taste

2 lbs. mahi mahi ﬁllets, boneless

Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed

¼ cup ﬁsh rub

16 6-in. corn tortillas

2 avocados, peeled, pitted and sliced

½ small red onion, thin slices

Cook quinoa in broth per package directions. Set aside to cool.
Combine quinoa with shredded green cabbage; reserve.
To a food processor, add crema, lime juice, ancho chile, cilantro and salt. Process until well blended. Chill and reserve.
Rub ﬁsh with olive oil, followed by ﬁsh rub of choice. Let marinate for at least 20 minutes before grilling.
Grill ﬁsh over medium heat on each side until ﬁllets are just cooked through. Flake and reserve for service.
For each taco: Lightly grill 2 corn tortillas.
Lay 1 tortilla over the other and spread 1½ oz. quinoa/cabbage mixture over the top. Top mixture with 2 oz. grilled ﬁsh. Garnish with sliced avocado, sliced onion and ancho-lime crema.
