For the soft tacos:
recipe: http://stupideasypaleo.com/2013/08/23/simple-paleo-tortillas/

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon melted ghee
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup arrowroot powder
  • 1 teaspoon coconut flower
  • pinch of salt


For the fish:

Mahi-mahi fish (I had a little over a pound)

Marinade:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 jalapeno, diced
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon of Adobo seasoning (I use Penzy's)-- Jerk seasoning, or a similar one would work
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (omit if you don't like spicy food)
  • 1 lime (juice), or 2 tablespoons of lime juice
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped 
  • kosher salt and pepper, to taste
Taco fixins:
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • little bunch of cilantro, chopped
  • Napa cabbage, chopped
  • Avocado
  • Sauce to drizzle (I used Creamy Chipotle Pepper Dip)... but any dressing will do. (these are really good: http://www.tessemaes.com/)
  • Crumbled goat cheese (optional for the primal eaters)
Instructions
  1. Make the marinade-- combine all ingredients in a bowl, stir, add the fish-- set aside for 15-20 minutes while you make the soft tacos
  2. To make the soft tacos: 
    1. Combine wet ingredients (2 eggs + 1 tsp melted ghee + 1 TBSP water), wisk
    2. Add in dry ingredients (1/8 tsp baking soda, 1/4 cup arrowroot powder, 1 tsp coconut flour, pinch salt), wisk until smooth
    3. Get an 8" frying pan nice and hot-- spray with olive oil (or your oil of choice)
    4. Pour 1/4-1/3 mixture in pan (it cooks fast-- so you have to swirl it around fast)
    5. Cook on both sides of the taco (just like making crepes)
    6. Spray the pan between each use, lightly
  3. For the fishies
    1. Melt 2 TBSP coconut oil in large frying pan
    2. Put the fish/ marinade in there
    3. Cook the fish
  4. Prep the taco fixings
  5. Assemble those tacos!! (or let the diner's do it themselves...)
    1. Put the fish on the taco, then put your fixings on there.... drizzle with sauce when complete
  6. Enjoy!

  4. salt/ pepper the fish
