This recipe is excellent! I love the combination of flavors. The cinnamon and lime are especially nice. I agree with one reviewer that it is watery. But add the tomatoes later and the flavors may not mix as nicely. This recipe is good, but different than the fish tacos I've had at restaurants where the fish is breaded and fried and the accompaniments are raw, fresh vegetables. I am rating this a 4 because I found the chilpolte pepper ingredient confusing. I thought it said 2 *cans*, which I knew was way too much. I used half a can and that was way too spicy. Now I see my mistake...2 peppers *from* can makes more sense. I will definitely make this again, without so many peppers in the sauce!!

We really enjoyed this recipe. I'll definitely make it again - it is quite "healthy" as the title suggests. The only caution I have is regarding the cinnamon. It was a bit off putting for me - when I make these next, I'll probably substitute something else for the cinnamon. BTW - my husband enjoyed that flavoring - so it is definitely a very personal thing....

<p>I live in athens, ga and have a seasonal peanut brittle making business. I also do some catering and personal chefing. For fun i like gardening, listening to music, reading magazines and cookbooks, playing tennis, playing with my dogs (2 labs, 1 yorkie)and cooking. My favorite cookbook is Joy of Cooking and I am addicted to watching the food network. I love Jamie Oliver's style. A pet peeve in the kitchen is my husband picking at the food before it's ready. (Maybe I should take that as a compliment!)</p>
