Fish Taco Recipe - By Request (By Justin)

You asked, you got it. Here it is, by request, Justin's recipe for fish tacos. 


Fish Tacos (Serves 2)

-Approx. 1 lb. of a light, flaky fish (we've used Wiper, Crappie, Walleye, Tilapia, Orange Roughie)
-Approx. 2 Tbs vegetable oil
-2 limes
-Garlic powder
-Salt and pepper
-2 large tomatoes
-Approx. 1/3 C fresh cilantro, chopped
-1/4 red onion, finely chopped
-1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
-1 avocado, diced
-Sour cream
-Small tortillas (flour or corn)

1) Cut fish into bite-size chunks. Heat oil in saute pan over low to medium heat. Add fish and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt and pepper. 
2) Meanwhile, make pico de gallo (Anne's job): chop tomatoes and combine in bowl with cilantro, red onion, garlic powder to taste, and juice of 1 lime. Set aside. 
3) Cook fish for approximately 8 minutes until flaky. Add juice of the 2nd lime about half-way through cooking. Stir periodically. 
4) Serve fish in tortillas (preferably heated over gas top stove burner, otherwise in microwave),with  sour cream, heated black beans, diced avocados, pico de gallo, and (if you can handle it) Mexican hot sauce (preferably Chulula). 

And finally, don't forget: it tastes better if you catch the fish  yourself! Enjoy!
