Mmmm.... fish tacos!!! There is no better summer dinner. None...
Here's where I started... mahi mahi, corn tortillas, a green onion or two, cilantro, cabbage and the amazing Southwest Dressing...
Oh yeah... and you must, must, must use the Liquid Gold aka the garlic-infused olive oil ... promise me you'll keep this on hand in your kitchen. You won't regret it!
Here's the quick run down on how the Lite Southwest Dressing is made... greek yogurt, cayenne pepper, cumin powder and chili pepper.
Several dashes of chili powder, a dash or two of cumin powder and a pinch of cayenne pepper...
And some kosher salt and black pepper...
Mix it together. Taste to see if it needs anymore kosher salt (it probably does) or black or cayenne pepper. Just make this to your own tastes. You can't go wrong with this... and whatever is left over can simply go in a container in the refrigerator for several weeks (just like the yogurt).
Next attack those greens... cabbage (sliced rather thin), green onions, cilantro...
Line 'em up where they will await their final calling in life...
Next is the fish... add about a tablespoon of garlic-infused olive oil to the skillet and bring it up to HOT! Then add the salted/peppered fish to the skillet and let it cook through, turning over half-way through.
While the fish is cooking you can throw the tortillas on a griddle to warm up a bit, on medium heat... turning over once they bubble a bit. Don't let them get too crispy... they'll just crack in half when you use them. And you don't want that to happen...
Once the fish is done you can remove it to another flat surface cut into strips...
Then the assembly process starts... line up your warmed tortillas, schmear them with a touch of Southwest dressing, topping them with a couple slices of fish...
Then add the cabbage, green onions and cilantro... and be prepared...
to enjoy a really yummy (and rather healthy) dinner!!!
We typically serve these up with a small side dish:
sharing a can of clam chowder
corn on the cob
black bean soup
there really are so many options...
the only thing that ISN'T an option is making these tacos...
enjoy your time in the kitchen...
