My hubby loved this. He doesn't eat pork or beef. So when I whipped this up he cleaned his plate. Made some hush puppies to go with it as well. He's a big fan of cilantro. So I made a little salad tossed it with the cilantro lime sauce and topped it on the fish. Definitely a keeper.

The fish was good but the lime cilantro sauce was too much lime flavor for my husband and I.

Really good! There's a nice little kick from the seasoning. I used homemade guacamole, which paired nicely with the yummy cilantro-lime sauce. Thanks for sharing!

We were surprised how much we liked this! The cilantro-lime sauce is wonderful (though almost the same color as the guacamole), like slightly sweetened lime juice with some body to it. We used tilapia, a mild-flavored fish, and corn tortillas just because we were unexpectedly out of the flour ones -- but that worked, too. Thanks for a delightful change of pace! Made for ZWT5.
