Stories of a Stay-at-Home Mom

What's for dinner?

It's Lent, so maybe you only eat fish on Fridays, if you're like my family. We've been wanting to try one of the fish fries at the local churches, but we haven't gotten around to it yet. They sound like fun. Instead, I've been cooking fish at home on Fridays. One of my favorite recipes is fish tacos. I know. It sounds weird, but it's really good. I know you're probably picturing typical tacos with a hard shell and salsa. But these are made with soft tortillas and I don't use salsa. Instead I use a tangy sour cream sauce on top. It really is good and the kids like it too.

This recipe for lime fish tacos is once again from www.allrecipes.com. It calls for red snapper or orange roughy, but I usually use tilapia because it's cheaper and tastes great.

  • pound red snapper or orange roughy fillets
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 7 teaspoons lime juice, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons reduced fat sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons fat-free mayonnaise
  • 1 dash hot pepper sauce
  • 7 (8 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup chopped fresh tomato
Directions
1.    Remove skin from fish and cut fish into 1-in. cubes. In a nonstick skillet, saute garlic in butter and 5 teaspoons lime juice for 30 seconds. Add fish and pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes over medium heat until fish flakes easily with a fork.
2.    Meanwhile, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, hot pepper sauce and remaining lime juice. Place as spoonful of fish on each tortilla. Top each with lettuce, tomato and sour cream sauce; fold over.
