A shout out!

I had to give a shout out to my girl Alison in Logan for her amazing fish tacos. She posted these on her blog, I love to try new recipes and this one is a keeper. They were sooooo good. Chris was a happy man that night. The only thing I did different was use the tortillas that you brown yourself from Costco. I also used the tillapia loins from there which is a very mild tasting fish. These tacos are packed and full of fresh flavor! Here is her recipe:

Pico De Gallo- Chop 1-2 tomatoes, 1/4 white onion, cilantro to taste, and 1-2 cloves minced garlic. Add all this together, cover and put in fridge to let the flavors blend.


Coleslaw- 1/4 head of cabbage shredded, 3-4 baby carrots shredded with cheese grater, 1/2 jalapeno seeded and finely diced. (Wash hands really well otherwise you'll wind up with burning body parts.) Toss veggies in a small bowl and coat with seasoned rice vinegar, and a bit of lime juice. Again, cover and chill so flavors can meld together.


Dressing- There are lots of good recipes out there for the creamy cilantro dressing (like Cafe Rio's), but here is the simple version I use for Fish Tacos... Take 1/2 cup ranch dressing and put in a small food processor. Add the other half of your jalapeno, a handfull of cilantro leaves and perhaps a little parmesan cheese (or cotija if you have it). Blend, cover and chill until tacos are ready to serve.


The Fish

Coat any firm white fish meat with the Old Bay seasoning of choice. I like to mix a little Blackened Seasoning with a little Garlic and Herb Seasoning. Then cook on the grill or broil in the oven.
