Tilapia Soft Tacos with Chipotle Cream Sauce

4 8" tortillas
1 1/2 tsp + 1 TBS vegetable oil
1 1/2 tsp Mexican seasoning, ground (we used a packet of taco seasoning)
1 TBS garlic, minced
1 lb. fresh Tilapia filets
2 TBS cilantro, chopped
1 lime (juice only)
salt, to taste
1 cup lettuce, shredded

Chipotle Cream Sauce
2 TBS prepared Chipotle salsa (we just used regular salsa - because it was what we had on hand)
1/4 cup sour cream

Evenly combine ingredients for Chipotle Salsa, reserve in refrigerator. Toss together 1 1/2 tsp, Mexican seasoning, garlic and Tilapia filets. Heat remaining oil in a large non-stick pan over high heat. Place seasoned filets in pan. Cook 2 minutes on each side. Remove cooked filets and place in a small bowl. Add cilantro, lime juice and salt, mixing and breaking the fish into chunks. Heat tortillas per package instructions and place on clean work surface. Top each tortilla with 1/4 cup lettuce, 1/4 of tilapia mixture and 2 tsp of Chipotle Cream Sauce. Fold each tortilla in half (taco style) and serve.

The recipe says it serves 4 (it makes 4 tacos) but everyone in our family ate at least 2 tacos. So, the amounts given here would only feed two in our house.
