Fish Tostadas with Chili-Lime Cream

Cook's notes: This is a healthy dinner recipe served southwest style though my husband neglected to read this tagline. He was quite generous with the chili-lime cream when really a dollop will do. No need to overpower the fish taste. Using corn tortillas enhanced the flavor. 

Make the chili-lime cream early in day for flavors to meld.  Recipe serves 4.
