Serves 4 peopleCategories: melts, sandwiches
Ingredients
- 8 to 10 oz. cooked salmon, whole filet if possible
- 1 tsp. vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp. ground chipotle pepper
- kosher salt
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp. chopped fresh dill or dill seeds
- juice from 1/2 lime
- 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
- 8 (6-inch) flour tortillas, heated
- 1/2 cup sliced red onion
- 4 oz. cotija cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro
Directions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Rub salmon with oil; sprinkle with the chipotle pepper and pinch of salt. Wrap loosely in foil; place on a baking sheet.
- Bake just to heat the salmon through and infuse it with the chipotle flavor, 5 minutes. When done, flake the salmon with a fork.
- Meanwhile, for the sauce, stir together the sour cream, chopped dill or dill seeds, lime juice and a pinch of salt.
- Divide spinach and salmon among the tortillas (about an ounce of salmon per taco). Top with the lime dill sauce, red onions, cotija cheese and fresh cilantro.
