Fish Tacos

Happy New Year!! 

Like everyone else, I'm trying to eat healthier this year. My husband and I are following the Daniel Plan developed by Pastor Rick Warren. We are currently in the detox phase and have cut out sugar, gluten, and dairy. Honestly, I don't really miss any of these foods and have lost 5 pounds! Here is one of the recipes originally from their book that I have modified.

I found all the ingredients at Aldi's which helps make eating healthy on a budget easier for my family. I did not buy the coleslaw mix at Aldi's. I could have bought a head of cabbage but for the same price I took the easier option.

If you never made your own fresh corn tortillas, you need to today! They are so simple and delicious!

My husband made this awesome tortilla press but you don't have to have one. The trick is having the dough between wax paper to prevent sticking.

I season my tilapia.

Pineapple salsa...trust me, this makes the recipe!

The final product. Doesn't look super fancy but it's delicious!

Fish Tacos

Corn Tortillas

1 cup masa

2/3 cup water

1/4 teaspoon salt

Combine ingredients until consistency of playdoh, add water 1 tablespoon at a time if necessary. Place golf ball size amount of dough into tortilla press. Cook in skillet for 2-3 minutes each side until heated (when you smell the corn that's usually when you know it's ready). Makes about 6 tortillas.

Pineapple Salsa

1 can chunky pineapple, drained

1/2 red onion

hand full of fresh cilantro

juice from 1 lime

1 jalapeno (optional)

Pulse ingredients in a food processor until you reach the consistency of salsa that you prefer.

To make fish tacos:

In cast iron skillet, add 1 teaspoon EVOO. Cook 2-4 tilapia fillets, fresh or thawed in skillet. I prefer to season my fish with garlic powder, chili powder, and cumin.

Place shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix on individual tortillas, add fish, top with salsa. Enjoy!
