Recipe: Fish Tacos

 
For our family we purchase the big frozen bags of tilapia. Each fillet is individually frozen and we usually eat four between the three of us.

To prepare the fish I remove the fish from the packet, I spray a couple segments of fresh lime over them and then sprinkle with my home made taco seasoning on just one side. I'll post information about that at a later time. I do that about 40-45 minutes before I'm ready to cook the fish.

To cook the fish I dash a couple teaspoons of canola oil in a pan that's pretty hot...

I cook the fish with the seasoning side down for 2-3 minutes covered. Flip and a couple more on the other side. When I take the fish out of the pan I just give it a quick chop with a knife to make it easier to spread on tacos.

We usually have plain flour tortillas.

For a topping I make a home made Pico or Cold hot stuff type thing. This consists of Tomato, white onion, green pepper, cilantro and lime juice.

We love to have a couple wedges of lime to squeeze onto the top and maybe a sprinkle of Jalapeno.

That's basically it.
