Blackened Fish Tacos
The spiciness of the fish, the sweetness of the mango in the coleslaw and the sourness of the lemon in the avocado sauce make things explode in your mouth after the very first bite. If you need something that is super fast and easy, this is what you need to make.You of course can make rice or other sides for this meal but I usually don't because then I can eat more tacos.
(don't ask how many I usually consume) (;
Blackened Fish Tacos
Blackened Seasoning
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon onion salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (add more if you like it really spicy)
1 tablespoon raw sugar
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 pounds halibut filets
1 tablespoon coconut oil
15 Mission brand yellow corn tortillas
Mix the first eight ingredients in a small bowl and then generously sprinkle both sides of the fish with the mixed seasonings.
Add coconut oil in a skillet and turn to medium heat. When skillet is hot add the fish. Cook on either side for about 4 minutes. Fish can get dry very easily so do not overcook it.
Mango-Cilantro Coleslaw
1 cup purple cabbage
2 cups white cabbage
1 regular sized mango, finely diced
1/2 sweet red pepper, finely diced
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise
Juice of 1 lemon
dash of salt if needed
Cut cabbage into thin strips then mix in a medium bowl with mango, red pepper and cilantro. In a separate bowl mix mayonnaise, lemon juice and a dash of salt. Combine with the cabbage mixture.
Avocado-Lemon Sauce
1 cup mayonnaise
1 avocado, peeled and pitted
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1 clove garlic
1/4 teaspoon pepper
dash of salt
Put everything into blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
Before you assemble the tacos. Heat the corn tortillas in a skillet on medium to high heat for about thirty seconds to one minute until soft.
To assemble add a little fish to the tortilla, drizzle with avocado-lemon sauce then top with mango-cilantro coleslaw.
(Serves about 3 people if that's the only thing you're having for dinner)
