Ingredients

½ cup Cabot Light Sour Cream
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon blackening or Cajun seasoning
¾ pound firm white fish fillets (such as red snapper, halibut or striped bass)
4 fat-free flour tortillas
2 ounces Cabot Lite50 Sharp Cheddar, grated (about ½ cup)

Directions

PREPARE and preheat grill.
COMBINE sour cream, cilantro and lime juice in a small bowl; set aside.
SPRINKLE seasoning over fish. Cook fish on grill over medium-high heat just until opaque in center (about 2 to 5 minutes per side depending on thickness of fillets.) Transfer fish to bowl and flake into bite-size pieces with fork.
PLACE tortillas on grill and cook until lightly charred on both sides, about 20 seconds per side.
DIVIDE fish among tortillas; top evenly with sour cream mixture and cheese. Serve with toppings, as desired.
Tip: To prepare fish in the oven, place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray and bake at 350°F for 12 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork.
