Grilled Fish and Poblano Tacos
Grilled Fish and Poblano Tacos are a pretty healthy recipe but without that healthy meal feel.
Both the fish and peppers are simply seasoned with olive oil and Old Bay seasoning.
And these tacos are extra simple thanks to a Southwest salad kit.
I used the lettuce mix for the tacos along with the cilantro lime dressing packet and the crunchy topping packet.
How to Make Grilled Fish and Poblano Tacos
I am using four tilapia fillets for the fish.
Pat them dry with paper towels and then brush both sides with olive oil.
Then cut two poblano peppers in half lengthwise.
And remove the seeds and stem.
Brush the poblanos with olive oil as well and season both sides of the fish and peppers with Old Bay seasoning.
Preheat the grill to medium high heat for a few minutes.
You’ll need to put the fish in a grilling basket because they would be way too delicate to grill on the grates.
If you don’t have a grill basket I would suggest putting some foil on the grill and placing the fish on the foil to prevent it from falling apart.
The poblanos can go right on the grates.
The fish and peppers will cook 6 to 7 minutes total, flipping halfway through.
And the great char on the poblanos is just what you want đŸ™‚
This will make about 6 tacos if using the soft taco size tortillas.
I like to warm the tortillas and then add some of the lettuce mix from the salad kit, sliced poblanos, and some of the fish flaked apart.
Then drizzle the cilantro lime dressing from the salad kit.
An avocado ranch salad kit would be great if you can’t find the Southwest salad kit.
These salad kits are little mom hack that I use often to make dinner a little easier đŸ™‚
The salad kit also comes with a crunchy packet of goodness that I added over top for some texture.
Mine had tortilla strips and pepitas, which are toasted pumpkin seeds.
Grilled Fish and Poblano Tacos made for a pretty amazing Taco Tuesday đŸ™‚
Add any other toppings you like such as hot sauce, jalapenos, or guacamole.
