The creamy, smoky, spicy sauce makes these easy tacos taste like an unexpected weeknight treat. You’ll make the sauce again and again—it jazzes up any kind of baked or grilled fish or chicken and makes a wonderful dip for fresh veggies.

Ingredients

Plain low fat Greek yogurt

¼ cup(s)

Light mayonnaise

¼ cup(s)

Canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

1 Tbsp

Red onion

1 Tbsp, chopped

Cilantro

Cilantro

4 Tbsp

Red onion

Instructions

  1. To make sauce, stir together first 7 sauce ingredients (yogurt through 1 tsp lime juice). Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 4 days.
  2. To make tacos, combine 3 tbsp lime juice, oil, cumin, and garlic in large shallow dish; add tilapia and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
