Vegan Tacos (Mock Taco Del Mar Fish Tacos)

I have been craving Taco Del Mars' Fish Tacos. I think what I was craving was the Cabbage and Spicy Cream sauce. So I improvised and put this recipe together last night thinking it just might work. It turned out FANTASTIC! My whole family loved it. It Definitely satisfied my craving.
This recipe makes about 10 little Tacos, If you get the Small Corn Tortillas.

1/2 Cup Vegan Mayonaise
1 Serrano Chili
1/4 Cup Chopped Fresh Cilantro
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Zest of 1 Lime
Juice of 1 Lime

Corn Tortillas
Cabbage
(Optional Pico De Gallo, Avocado, Red Onion)

Chickpea Filling:
Drain the Can of Chickpeas, But leave a little bit at the bottom. 
Chop the Poblano Pepper very finely.
Add the Chickpeas, a little bit of the Brine, and the Poblano to a Skillet or Pan on Medium High Heat
Add the Spices.
Let cook until everything has a bit of brown on it. about 15 min. Stirring occasionally.





Cream Sauce:
In a bowl mix Sour Cream, Mayo, & Garlic Powder.
Zest a Lime into the Bowl. Then Squeeze the Juice of the Lime into the Mixture.
Next, To chop up the Serrano Chili, Cut off the stem. Then Slice the Chili long ways to make 4 Long Strips.


Slide a Knife under the Lighter Fleshy parts and cut them out along with the seeds. Leaving just the Dark Green Parts. 
Chop these up Finely and add to the Cream Sauce.

Next in a Clean Skillet, Warm up your Corn Tortillas

You now have everything ready to start making your Tacos.
Assembly However you Want.
I added Avocado and Red Onion to mine.
Pico De Gallo would be very good on these. Also If you want you can add Some Vegan Cheeze.
