Fried Fish Tacos!

I decided to make fish tacos in addition to the beef while hosting a taco party to change things up a bit from the typical chicken or beef I usually resorted to when making Mexican. It also provides variety/options for your guests. This preparation is pretty simple since I use a seasoning packet. It is a good way to cheat - It is nothing but seasoning already put together for you, so why not?!

Ingredients: Makes 5-7 Tacos

• 2 Filets of Tilapia (or another white fish filet)
• 3 tbs All Purpose Flour
• 1/2 Packet of Mexican Taco Seasoning
• Canola Oil
• Flour Taco Tortillas 
• Guacamole, Diced Tomatoes, Grated Cheddar, & Lettuce for Garnish

Directions:

Mix well the flour and taco seasoning together on a plate - taste it and add salt if needed. Add cracked black pepper if you want a little more spice.

Flour+Seasoning

Rinse the fish and Pat Dry. Coat the fish well in the flour/taco seasoning mix. and set aside on a separate plate.

Make sure seasoned flour is patted on well

Heat canola oil in a large skillet and fry the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until fish is fully cooked. Move to separate platter and cut into pieces for taco.

Warm up tortillas and layer with the tilapia, guacamole (my guac recipe can be found here http://little-italian-lady.blogspot.com/2012/02/guacamole-mole-mole-mole.html), lettuce, (add tomatoes and/or cheese - or garnishes you prefer). Squeeze a fresh wedge of lime on top and enjoy
