Tex-Mex-style Snapper Lettuce Wraps
Prep Time30 Minutes
Servings6
Cook Time10 Minutes
0Ingredients
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp lime juice
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp oregano
salt
and hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco, to taste
550 grams snapper fillets
12 small to medium whole leaf lettuce leaves
1 cup fresh salsa, or to taste (see Note)
1 cup sour cream, or to taste
1 ripe avocado, cut into small cubes
6 to 8 small radishes, thinly sliced
3/4 to 1 cup fresh corn kernels (see Note)
small, fresh cilantro sprigs, to taste
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut fish fillets into about 3-inch long, 1-inch wide pieces, removing any bones you find. Set the fish in a bowl. Add the oil, juice, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt and Tabasco (or other hot pepper sauce) and toss to coat the fish. Set the fish in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes, or until cooked.
- While fish cooks, set the lettuce leaves on a plate, and the salsa, sour cream, avocado, radish, corn and cilantro sprigs in bowls. When fish is cooked, let diners build the own lettuce wraps, by filling a lettuce leaf with pieces of the fish and other items.
Note: Tubs of fresh salsa are sold in our Deli Department. One shucked, medium cob of corn should yield the kernels needed here. Use a sharp knife to cut them off the cob.
