Hola mi amigo. Ich bin gut und du?

Es ist Fritag und… ahh damn, switched into some German there. Oh well it’s all Greek to me. Anyhow this week we are going south of the border for a little spice and Tequila. Well, the spice is for you but the Tequila is all mine.


Fish Tacos

Ingredients:

  • 1-teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1-pound redfish or seabass fillets

  • 1-cup canned black beans, drained
  • 1-cup ORTEGA® Thick & Chunky Salsa
  • 1-avocado, pitted and sliced
  • 1-cup shredded lettuce

Directions:

Brush a your grill down with oil and warm it up. Grill the redfish over the hot coals until it is flaky (about 10 minutes). Divide the cooked fish among flour tortillas and serve with black beans, salsa, sliced avocado, shredded lettuce, and black olives. Simple and fishy.

In my opinion both of these should be served with gracious helpings of tabasco sauce. Well the Tequila is almost gone so i must find some senorita’s, Adios.
