This recipe was delicious! I did make a few changes though. I seasoned the halibut with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder and Mrs. Dash Spicy seasoning. This really made the fish sing! I didn’t have yogurt, so I used sour cream for the guac. sauce, it worked just fine. I used lightly fried corn tortillas instead of flour, personal preference. Lastly, I sprinkled fresh cilantro on the tacos which really took the tacos to a next level. I will make this again and again! Good thing my dad is a commercial halibut fishermen so I get all the fish I want!

    I made several changes to the recipe to reflect the ingredients I had on hand and personal tastes. I used tilapia filets and sprinkled them with a little ancho powder as well as the salt & pepper. I reduced the amount of sauce drastically by using 1 avacado. The guacamole sauce was a bit tart with both the lemon & yougurt, but it contrasted nicely with the fish. I cooked the fish on an indoor grill so the recipe was fast and made a great weeknight supper. Thank you for sharing your recipe! Reviewed for ZWT 3.

    Halibut in Florida is very expensive so I used Orange Roughy which is a little bland. Next time, while cooking, I'll jazz it up with cilantro, and a pinch of chili and garlic powder. The yogurt guacamole had fantastic flavor but was a little runny (probably due to my error). Next time I'll use a little less yogurt and lemon juice and add more, as needed. This is a great recipe that we'll be making again!

    Just loved the simplicity of this recipe. I used sweet lip fillets as that is what I had. Being a person who prefers yoghurt over sour cream, it is the yoghurt that made it a winner for me. I will definately make this again and may try a little chopped cilantro in it as well next time. Thanks Charon for such an easy tasty healthy type of recipe.
