Today’s Weekly Meal Plan Dinner: Summer Fresh Fish Tacos
Monday: Summer Fish Tacos
Ingredients
- 1-2 lb of very fresh fish fillets (Price Chopper Swai Fillets only $3.49/lb)
- 1 lemon (Price Chopper, $0.50 each)
- Salt and pepper
- Olive oil
- 1 dozen corn tortillas (3 tortillas per person)
- Vegetable oil or butter
- Salsa (I like to make a mango salsa with this dish!)
- 1 ripe Avocado optional ($0.50 each at Aldi)
- Cabbage optional (HyVee 2lb/$1.00)
- Cider vinegar
- Salt
Directions
- Prepare the salsa. Either use store bought or make your own.
- Prepare the cabbage and avocado. Thinly slice cabbage. Put in a small serving bowl. Sprinkle with cider vinegar (about a Tbsp) and salt (about a tsp). Mix in the vinegar and salt. Peel avocado and remove seed. Chop and reserve for later.
- Heat the tortillas.
- Cook the fish. Soak the fish fillets in cold water and juice of 1 lemon for at least one minute. Pat dry with a paper towel. Heat a large stick-free skillet to medium high heat. Add a couple of teaspoons of olive oil to the skillet. Place fish on skillet. Fish should be still barely translucent when cooked. Break off a piece and test if you are not sure. Do not overcook the fish. Remove from pan when done to a separate plate. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Time to assemble your taco!!! Make it the way you LOVE it!!!
