"The secret to getting my family to eat fish is tucked inside these tempting tacos," confides Tammy Hayden, Carmichael, California. The tastes and textures in this unusual entree blend in a surprisingly pleasing way. Lime adds a zippy twist to the flaky fillets and the creamy sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound red snapper or orange roughy fillets
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 7 teaspoons lime juice, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons fat-free mayonnaise
  • Dash hot pepper sauce
  • 7 flour tortillas (8 inches), warmed
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup chopped fresh tomato

Directions

  1. Remove skin from fish and cut fish into 1-in. cubes. In a nonstick skillet, saute garlic in butter and 5 teaspoons lime juice for 30 seconds. Add fish and pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes over medium heat until fish flakes easily with a fork, gently stirring occasionally.
  2. Meanwhile, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, hot pepper sauce and remaining lime juice. Place a spoonful of fish on each tortilla. Top each with lettuce, tomato and sour cream sauce; fold over.
