Instructions

Step 1 Directions

Remove steam from the collard greens trying to leave the leaf as whole as possible.

Step 2 Pink Sauce

Put the chipotles in a blender and puree until smooth.

Step 3 Pink Sauce

Add the sour cream (or yogurt), mayonnaise, adobo sauce from the can of chipotles and lemon juice and blend until creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 4 Fish

Sprinkle salt and pepper to all sides of the fish strips

Step 5 Fish

Heat a sauté pan on medium-high heat, spray with pam and place the fish strips.  Move around to make sure they don’t stick to the pan. Cook on all sides for 2 to 3 minutes each side. Make sure not to overcook the fish. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6 Making the Tacos

Top each collard green leaf with a little bit of each fish, red onion, tomato, cilantro leaves, chives, pink sauce and a few drops of lime juice. Enjoy!
