Grilled Salmon Tacos with Chipotle Sauce
Flavorful leftover fish gives you a jump-start on dinner; just a few embellishments turn this Cedar-Planked Salmon into a whole new meal. Set out a stack of warm tortillas and bowlfuls of taco fillings to make this a convivial, casual family supper where everyone assembles his or her own tacos to taste. For speedier preparation, use packaged angel hair slaw instead of shredded cabbage.

It's a good taco recipe. I used flour tortillas and just purchased bagged cole slaw mix instead of shredding a whole cabbage. Pretty easy. It ain't haute cuisine, but if you're looking for an easy, reliable fish taco recipe, this one is simple and tasty.10/04/09
