Servings: 4

 

Ingredients:

2 cans black beans, drained

Pinch of cayenne pepper

3/4 cup chopped cilantro

16 corn tortillas

1/2 cup cornmeal

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/2 cup chopped green onions

hot sauce

1 chopped jalapeño (pickled if sensitive to heat)

2 tablespoons lime juice

2 limes cut into wedges

2/3 cup mayo

Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

5 tablespoons olive oil

1 1/2 cups shredded red cabbage

1 1/2 pounds tilapia (catfish and swai work too)

2 large tomatoes, chopped

Equipment:

bowl

frying pan

pie form

paper towels

microwave

Cooking instruction summary:

  1. Mix the mayo, lime juice and chopped jalapeno in a small bowl. Salt and pepper to taste, then put in the fridge.
  2. Chop all veggies and set aside.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a small pan over medium-high heat. Add the green onions and allow them to saute for 1-2 minutes. Pour both cans of drained beans into the pan. Bring to a simmer and add the cumin, cayenne and tsp. of salt. Squeeze a couple of lime wedges into the beans. Cook for 5 minutes longer. Cover and set aside. Top the beans with cheese when you are ready to serve them.
  4. Heat a large skillet to high heat. Cut the fish into 1 x 3 inch strips. Drizzle oil on the fish, then salt and pepper both sides.
  5. Pour the cornmeal into a pie pan. Roll the fish strips in cornmeal, shaking off the excess.
  6. Add 2 tablespoons of oil to pan. When it is hot, cook half the fish strips 1-2 minutes per side, until opaque and flaky. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fish. Remove the fish from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat.
  7. Warm the tortillas in the microwave. Divide the fish between 8 tortillas. (You can double up the tortillas so they wont break!) Then top each with cabbage, tomatoes, cilantro and jalapeno-lime sauce. Serve with lime wedges and hot sauce, black beans on the side.

Food Joke

An Blonde calls her boyfriend and says, "Please come over here and help me, I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure out how to get it started." Her boyfriend asks, "What is it supposed to be when it's finished? The girl says, "According to the picture on the box, it's a tiger." Her boyfriend decides to go over and help her with the puzzle. She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzles spread all over the table. He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box. He turns to her and says, "First of all, no matter what we do, we're not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a tiger. Second, I'd advise you to relax. Let's have a cup of coffee, then put all these Frosties back in the box."
