Hello there!
So friday again! yay!! But today we catholics start with the Lent. Yep, no meat just fish.
And since we are in fish mood I’m gonna share with you the most incredible fish recipe I’ve made so far. But let me make this really clear.. BEST. FISH. RECIPE. EVER. Seriously I can’t strech that enough.
BLACKENED FISH TACOS WITH AVOCADO-CILANTRO SAUCE
1.5 lbs tilapia fillets (or any white fish of your choice)
1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon brown sugar
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
12 corn tortillas
½ red cabbage, sliced thin
¼ green cabbage, sliced thin
½ medium-sized onion, diced
½ cup cilantro
Juice of 1 lime
½ cup sour cream
1 ripe avocado, pitted and skinned
¼ cup cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1 jalapeno, chopped and seeded (optional)
Salt, to taste
It’s seems like too much stuff.. but it’s nothing hard to get…
Directions:
1. In a bowl, mix the paprika, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, brown sugar, salt and pepper. And then cover both sides of the fish with the mixture, rubing the seasons in.
2.Combine in the food procesor or blender the sour cream, avocado, 1/4 cup of cilantro, 1 lemon juice, salt, and jalapeño, until perfectly combined.
3.Mix the cabbage, onion, 1/2 cup of cilantro, the juice of 1 lime in a large bowl.
4. In a medium pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Once is heated, add the fish and cook for 4-5 mins on each side, or until the outside is blackened and the fish flakes apart easily.
5.Remove fish from the heat, and warm the tortillas in the same pan over medium heat. Break the tilapia up into pieces. You can stack the tortillas in two, or if you want it light just one tortilla. Distribute the fish between them and top with slaw and avocado sauce.
6. Serve and enjoy
