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

A young woman, who was at her father's funeral, asked her mother, "Mom, how did Dad die?" Her mom replied, "Heart attack." "What was he doing?" the daughter asked. Her mother said, "Well, we were having sex." This enfuriated the daughter, because they were both 80 years old. The daughter said, "You guys are 80 years old! You should have expected something like this! You're way too old to be engaging in this sort of activity!" The mom replied, "Well, you see, years ago, we realized that at noon every day, the church bells rang. So, we decided to work along to that nice, slow rhythm so that your father wouldn't have a heart attack. It worked for years too. That poor guy... he'd still be alive today if that darned Ice Cream truck hadn't come along..."
