Baja Fish Tacos with Chipotle, Cilantro & Lime Crema brilliant colors invite you to dig into these amazing fish tacos!!![/caption]

In my quest for the perfect Fish Tacos recipe, I’ve finally tweaked a gazillion recipes to find it!

Even my fish-averse husband devoured these Fish Tacos in intense fervor!

Yea, these fish tacos are that dang good!

I took the red snapper from a previous recipe on Caribbean Fried Red Snapper that was marinated the day before in the traditional Caribbean Green Seasoning Marinade, sautéed the left-over fish in a skillet for about 5 minutes, created a crazy-outstanding creamy sauce for topping the tacos, and wah-lah!

Just like most of my recipes, I like to make a LOT of things in advance, being a busy career person and mother, it’s how I roll!

So prepare the fish ahead of time . . . it will keep for a day, OK?

Chop up everything ahead of time if you wish, it will also keep covered in the frig for a day.  Clean up the mess at this time, so you don’t have to clean up tomorrow.  Doing this makes a BIG difference in the enjoyment of cooking!

Assemble the fish tacos the next day when you’re ready.

And now?   Get ready for the “I want another one, please!” comments and praises from those you love!

Plus be prepared to share the recipe!  My pleasure  . . . thank you!
