Servings: 4

 

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.
