Fish Tacos with Chipotle Aioli

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 45 min. Grill: 15 min. YIELD: 8 servings.
I came up with this recipe after having fish tacos at a seafood restaurant. Instead of frying the fish, I grill it and add a couple of fresh items to give this light healthy meal new flair. —Anthony Dolby, Howland, Oregon
