Receta Blackened Fish Tacos
I’m a sucker for a good fish taco. It combines two things I am absolutely crazy about – seafood and tex-mex.
And they can actually be fairly healthy for you depending on how you make them. These are lightly pan fried so they have a bit of texture but not deep fried so they aren’t a huge calorie bomb. These are blackened as well so they have a nice spicy kick to them.
A win-win as far as I’m concerned given that it is SPRING
and swimsuit season is right around the corner.
Blackened Fish Tacos
*Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 1 lb mild white fish such as tilapia, cod or grouper
- ¼ cup flour
- 1.5 – 2.5 teaspoons blacken seasoning, based on your
- spice preference
- 1 tablespoon canola oil, more if needed
- 1/3 cup sour cream or plain greek yogurt
- Zest of lime
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 8-10 flour tortillas
- Suggestions:
- Lettuce, shredded or chopped
- Avocado, sliced
Directions:
In a
small bowl combine sour cream, lime zest, and lime juice. Set aside for
later.
Prep
the fish by patting dry and slicing into 1” thick slices about 2”-3”
inches long.
In a
shallow bowl or plate combine blacken seasoning and flour. Dredge fish in
flour and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
Heat a
large sauté pan to medium high heat with canola oil. Pan fry fish for 3-5
minutes on each side or until cooked through and lightly golden brown.
Repeat until done. (You can keep cooked fish in a 200 degree oven on a
wire rack to keep warm while you finish.)
Heat
tortillas according to package directions and serve tacos with toppings of
choice. I used shredded lettuce, the lime zest sour cream, pico de gallo
and sliced avocado.
