The Ingredients
To create these flavorful tacos, you’ll need:
-
For the Chipotle Glaze:
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 canned chipotle peppers in adobo, chopped, plus 2 tablespoons adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Zest and juice of 1 lime
-
For the Slaw:
- One 16-ounce bag broccoli slaw
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 5 mini sweet peppers, sliced into rings
- 1 to 2 thinly sliced serrano chiles
-
For the Fish:
- 1 pound cod fillets
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- To Serve:
- 12 corn taco shells, blistered
- Sliced avocado, sour cream, hot sauce, and lime wedges for garnish
Cooking Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get it ready for roasting.
-
Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the honey, chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and the juice and zest of 1 lime. This smoky-sweet mixture will serve as the flavor powerhouse of your tacos.
-
Assemble the Slaw: In a baking dish, place the broccoli slaw at the bottom. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Then, scatter the sliced sweet peppers and serrano chiles over the slaw.
-
Add the Fish: Place the cod fillets on top of the slaw and seasoned veggies. Sprinkle them generously with salt and pepper. Pour the prepared chipotle glaze over the fish and around the slaw in the baking dish.
-
Roast the Mixture: Roast everything in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flaky. As soon as you pull it out, squeeze the juice of the remaining lime over everything.
- Flake and Garnish: Flake the cod into large chunks and sprinkle the chopped cilantro on top.
Building the Tacos
Now comes the fun part! It’s time to assemble your tacos. Take a couple of chunks of the roasted cod and place them in each blistered corn taco shell. Top with a generous pinch of the crunchy slaw, add some sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and drizzle with hot sauce. Don’t forget to add a lime wedge for a final squeeze of citrus goodness!

She called burning the tortillas "blackened" 😂😂 even my wife which is "white" has never done that 😊
I used to think healthy eating meant bland, uninspired meals until Youth Protocol by dr Tessa showed me how delicious wellness can be. These chipotle fish tacos are a perfect example: flavorful, protein-rich, and grounded in whole-food ingredients. I swapped in grilled white fish, added fresh lime, and light avocado crema it’s become my go-to dinner for that post-work family reset. Since making mindful meal choices like this, I’ve noticed I feel more energized, focused, and satisfied proof you don’t need to sacrifice taste or health.
This looks sooo good!!!
I love you precious little puppy ❣️
