Fish Tacos

Tonight we made fish tacos on homemade corn tortillas... YUM.  I've been so inspired by this new book I got, and I saw pictures of pita bread, and tortillas topped in all sorts of yummy things...and then lime on top...and wow...that lime just really completed the image.  And then I was in the mood for fish...and so now you know how it all came to be.

Corn Tortillas

2 c. Masa Harina (instant corn flour that's treated with lime)

1/2 t. salt

1 1/2 cups warm water (you may need a bit more to achieve desired texture

Knead thoroughly.  Let set in bowl covered with plastic wrap for 30 minutes. Form into patties.  (If it's too dry, the edges will crackle).   Press with a tortilla press, or roll between wax paper and fry on the stove on dry pan.

Fish Tacos

8 fish fillets (we used talapia)

Olive oil

seafood seasoning

cilantro

taco seasoning

OR

cumin, chili powder and paprika

salt

I patted the fish dry with paper towels, and then rubbed them all over with olive oil.

Season fish to liking.  We grilled them...yum!  When fish is medium-well, and flaky, crumble, and top your tortilla with the fish, 

Cheddar cheese

spinach

tomato

avocado

and fresh squeezed lime 

Yum.  So easy.  So good.

And so from Kylie's Kitchen.

Did I mention it's healthy too?

Fish is great for Omega 3's...essential fatty acids, that we never get enough of.  These essential fatty acids are great for preventing heart disease, heart attack...are fantastic for your skin and brain function.

The Spinach is high in essential vitamins and minerals and the citrus helps break it down so your body can absorb the iron.
