Grilled Fish Tacos with Rubios Sauce
In honor of the upcoming Cinco De Mayo celebration, we made Grilled Fish Tacos with Rubios Sauce, all thanks to La Tortilla Factory for sending us some amazing products – like Hand Made Style Corn Tortillas, 100-Calorie Tortillas, and Soft Wrap Tortillas made with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. These are some of their newest products, and we got the opportunity to try them! La Tortilla Factory is also letting us do a giveaway for our readers, so stay tuned for this in the next couple of days. For now, let us share with you a great and easy recipe for Grilled Fish Tacos with Rubios Sauce, which I found online at allrecipes.com and epicurious.com, respectively. I marinated the fish for a few hours and also made the white Rubios sauce for the tacos. Along with the fresh cabbage, cilantro, and lime, these tacos kick ass! No need to deep fry the fish like the traditional fish tacos – this is a healthier and tastier version! You will thoroughly enjoy them.
I used about 1 lb. of pollack, cut into small pieces. You can also use tilapia or any other kind of white fish. The marinade consists of: 2 tbsp distilled white vinegar, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 2 tsp lime zest, 1 1/2 tsp honey, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp Old Bay seafood seasoning, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, and 1 tsp hot pepper sauce. Then whisk in 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil. Mix well and pour the entire mixture on top of the fish and let this marinate in the fridge for a few hours.
Okay, normally it's a sour cream sauce, but I didn't have sour cream on hand so forget that! I did however have plain yogurt, so I decided to make this Rubios sauce instead. To prepare the Rubios sauce, combine 1/2 cup plain yogurt, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp fresh chopped dill, 1/4 tsp cayenne, juice of 1 lime, and salt to taste. Mix this together and put in the fridge for a few hours to let the flavors incorporate.
I'm not even a fan of corn tortillas because they usually taste really dry and hard to swallow. But when I tried these Corn Tortillas from La Tortilla Factory, I was really impressed. It's a mix of corn and flour, which makes it really moist and flavorful. You can get their products at Whole Foods across the nation. In any case, these were delivered to us and we made great use out of them!
Once the fish is ready to cook, we grilled them indoors on a cast iron grill since the fish was cut up into small pieces (it will fall through the cracks with our backyard grill!). If you don't have a fancy indoor grill, just pan fry it! Once the fish is cooked, assemble the tacos by lightly warming the tortillas in a pan and layering it with the fish, cabbage, cilantro, red onion, tomatoes, and the Rubio's sauce. Looks like a fiesta to me!
Since we still have the other tortillas, we are going to make another classic Mexican dish for out next post, which will include the details of the giveaway from La Tortilla Factory. You don’t want to miss it!

FIRST! Ha! Thanks for putting out a fish recipe. I have leftover halibut! Maybe I can use that?
HAHA. We’ll definitely share more fish recipes! Salmon, cod, pollock, rock cod and more! You can definitely use your halibut for the fish tacos… so long as you have the other important ingredients to make this dish!
Oooee, those look fantastic!
I love fish tacos so much, and haven’t had them in far too long.

Your Grilled Fish Tacos look fantastic! Thanks for sharing. We also love La Tortilla and use their low carb wraps for all of our meals – breakfast (egg burritos), lunch (different wraps such as veggie, turkey, fruit..etc) and dinner (pizzas) can be also used for snacks (you just have to get creative).
If you are interested, we list one of our favorite recipes (Italian Pizza) on our site which uses the La Tortilla Wrap.
Hope you can enjoy and thanks again for the great recipe ideas!
Fish tacos rock! I haven’t found too many great fish taco places here in TX so maybe next time I have a craving I’ll make my own!
Andy, that just means you need to move out of Texas and come here to California. We’ll make fish tacos for you anytime!
I think that TACOS are seriously the BEST creation ever – fantastic recipe and presentation!

This looks fantastic and very easy to make. Thank you. I especially love the sauce as I dislike sour cream and plain yogurt is a very creative substitution. This is definitely a recipe that I will try.
tacos are one of my fave to-go meals, yours look really yummy and healthy with the grilled fish!

Those look fantastic! Thanks for sharing. Those tortillas are on sale at my Safeway in California for $1.94 a package. I stocked up on them for my Black bean tacos. I may try the fish ones tonight
I love La Tortilla Factory’s Low Carb tortillas. I also looks like you were using Kewpie Mayo in this recipe. Kewpie rocks! : )

Glad to hear that some of you are fans of La Tortilla Factory. They definitely have great products!
Totally looks like a fiesta! Nicely done! We don’t celebrate Cinco de Mayo but if it involves eating stuff like this then I might have to start a one woman drive to bring the celebration to Australia.

I’ve never made fish tacos before but it sounds wonderful, definitely going to add the ingredients for this to my list! Thanks.

you know in all my time living in mexico i have never come across fish tacos… but then, i am a southern girl, and fish tacos are very much from the north! the one i’ve been introduced to used battered, fried fish, which i think is torture for the beast and for the eater – why ruin a perfectly fine fish by drowning it in sizziling oil? i much prefer your version and will try it very soon!
I don’t think I need the sauce for this….I don’t know. But just the grilled fish in wraps is enough to attract me
Great fish tacos. I like the use of yohurt instead of using sour cream!
Fried or grilled, it’s all good. Very nice!
