Honey Chipotle Fish Tacos

This was an easy dinner to make and I loved the Honey Chipotle dressing but it does have a bite so you may want to adjust the amount of Chipotle pepper that you put in it.


Honey Chipotle Sauce

Ingredients:
2 canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup mild-flavored honey, such as clover
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt


Directions:
Combine chiles, butter, honey, garlic, and salt in a blender and whirl until smooth. You can keep this sauce in the fridge but you will need to reheat the sauce before use.

Tacos

Ingredients:
Corn Tortilla
Coleslaw Cabbage Mix
Tomatoes, diced
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Avocado, sliced
Fish Sticks (I prefer the Costco brand)


Directions:
Cut cooked fish sticks into bite size pieces. Assemble taco with the ingredients about and drizzle with the honey chipotle dressing.

Served as stated about, this recipe is 5 WW points per Taco.

This is a great side dish or a meal if you serve it over brown rice. I added a handful of shrimp to it and it was delish! WW Points Plus Value:5 Serves:6
