This post is long over due and I wanted to share how happy I felt when I discovered glutenfree corn tortilla at my local safeway store. Make your way to the deli section and amidst many types of flour tortilla, you will find corn tortilla. As I found my canvas, it was time to find my paints. I have had beef tacos, chicken quesadilla but never ever tried fish tacos. My husband had tried them and was never satisfied with the taste of them at restaurants, so I decided to give it a go. We got Mahi Mahi fillets from costco; and avacados and red vine tomatoes from superstore. I started and we ate and they were delicious. If you are not a seafood fan and want to have fish in your diet, try this recipe. It has everything to brighten your tastebuds as well as your day.
Ingredients:
Fish
2 Mahi Mahi fish fillet (cubed)
cumin 1 tsp
corriander 1 tsp
south west spice mix 2 tsp
paprika 1/2 tsp
salt 1/4 tsp
garlic paste 1 tsp
oil 1 tbsp
Pica de Gallo
tomatoes chopped 1 cup
green pepper chopped 1/3 cup
red onions chopped 1/3 cup
cilantro 1/3 cup
lime 2 tbsp
sugar 1 tbsp
salt 1/4 tsp
powdered cumin 1/4 tsp
powdered corriander 1/4 tsp
paprika 1/4 tsp
Mix it all up 5 mintues before you cook your fish so it stays fresh.
Method:
Marinate the fish in all the spices and garlic after the fish has defrosted. Let it rest in fridge for 10 minutes with the marinate. Heat oil on a medium high-heat in a pan. Sautee/Fry the fish and seperate the cubes as much you can, this way the cubes get a nice spicey crust. The fish cooks within 5 minutes but my husband and I prefer well done cubes so I let it cook for 7-8 minutes. Mahi mahi uncooked has beautiful pink-white marble color that reminds me of a pink rock salt that I once saw in Pakistan near Kalabagh Damn (Mianwali). When it cooks it takes a beautiful opaque cream color.
Heat your torillas on a pan and assemble your tortilla with pica de gallo, avacado, and lots of julliene salad. It is one of my favourite healthy foods and this is the only way I have tried them. If you have a different recipe that you like or have suggestion please let me know, I want to try all variations
