Seriously, when I lived in the Yukon this was my most favorite day of the year! It was day time ALL 24hrs! Summer in the North is amazing and if you ever get a chance to travel there in the summer I say GO FOR IT!
I wanted to bring you a fresh summer recipe for the first day of summer but didn't really know what to do. Since I am still on my second round of 80 Day Obsession using timed nutrition but following the 2B Mindset principles, I wanted to create a recipe that would fit in with containers but also the PlateIt method.
And this my friends is what I came up with! I made everything from scratch!
TILAPIA FISH TACOS/BOWL
Time: 30 mins
For the Tacos:
Tilapia
Tortilla of choice
Coleslaw
Salsa
Avocado
Lime
For the Bowls:
Tilapia
Riced Cauliflower or choice of base (rice, quinoa)
Salsa
Avocado
Lime
Coleslaw or greens
Tilapia
Ingredients:
4 tilapia filets
2T Cajun/ Fajita seasoning (homemade recipe below)
2T Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Directions:
Heat skillet with 2T Olive oil
Pat fish dry then seasoning both sides with seasoning 1/2T per filet
Add to hot oil and cook about 3 mins per side ( might flip a few times to be surely cooked through) the fish should flake easily when it is done
Homemade seasoning:
I used it for my Chicken Fajita Stuffed Peppers recipe and had some left over!
4tsp Chili Powder
2tsp Paprika
1tsp Garlic
1tsp Onion powder
1tsp Oregano
1.5tsp Cumin
1/2tsp Cayenne
dash salt
Coleslaw
Ingredients:
1 bag colesaw ( or make your own with shredded cabbage, carrots)
1/2C Mayonaise
1T Apple Cider Vinegar
1/8C sugar or maple syrup or honey
1/4t celery seed
pepper to taste
Directions:
Mix it all up good and toss in with coleslaw let sit for 15 mins
Peach Salsa
Ingredients:
2 peaches peeled and diced
2/3 of a red bell pepper
1T minced jalapeno roughly 1/2 of a jalapeno
2T white onion ( or 1/4C diced red onion I didn't have red on hand yesterday)
2 garlic cloves mincedsalt and pepper to taste
1/2T fresh lemon juice
1T fresh lime juice
1/4C cilantro
Directions:
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and let sit for 10 mins before serving
Put it together:
If you are making these into tacos like my family did last night, heat up a small or large whole wheat, corn or white tortilla with a little oil or butter on it to crisp it up a bit. Once it starts to bubble then they are ready. If you are using a large tortilla we usually but ours into quarters and make a taco that way.
Start by adding some fish followed by your choice of toppings you can even add corn or black beans if you choose
To make the bowls add 1 Cup of riced cauliflower or rice to a bowl top with 1 fish filet, 1/2C salsa, 1/4 of an avocado diced, 1/4C coleslaw, lime wedge. That is how I did mine anyways but you can add whatever you choose and how much of what ever you choose to match your containers or plateIt method.
*It was seriously SO dang good!! That peach salsa was BANG on man.. if your peaches were not as sweet as mine you can add a tsp of honey or maple syrup to your salsa mix but if they are perfectly ripe you shouldn't need any sweetening at all.
