Summary
Cumin, coriander, and paprika give these fish tacos a wonderfully warm flavor. The tangy sour cream, lime and cilantro sauce contrasts perfectly. Try shrimp for the snapper or romaine in place of cabbage to change it up if you like.

This is similar, if not the same as another recipe I have tried (darn, can't put my hands on it at the moment... I took it to school and not sure where it went from there?) Anyway, I think it is fabulous! We did a healthy eating clinic/class for the teachers at school. We prepared this recipe and it was really well liked! I loved the spicy seasonings on the fish and the creamy topping paired with the crunch of the cabbage was delicious. I'm thinking of combining low fat mayo (not a fan of FF mayo) with FF plain yogurt (instead of the LF s. cream) as an alternative to the current ingedients.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!This is a variation
