Baja Fish Tacos & Yellow Rice


After coming back from our honeymoon in Hawaii, Jared and I decided that we would try to incorporate more fish into our diet. I am not a big fan of fish, but since it is a very healthy meal option; I am trying to eat more, and make fish dinners that I enjoy. The following recipe was great because there was a ton of flavor including that of the fish.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 (1.25 ounce) package ORTEGA® Taco Seasoning Mix, divided
1 pound cod or other white fish fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 package (12) ORTEGA® Taco Shells, warmed (I used wheat tortilla wraps)

Toppings:
Lettuce, tomato, salsa

Directions:


1) Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, cilantro and 2 tablespoons seasoning mix in small bowl.

2)
Combine fish, vegetable oil, lemon juice and remaining seasoning mix in medium bowl; pour into large skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with fork.

3)
Fill taco shells with fish mixture. Top with tomato and sour cream mixture, lime juice and taco sauce. Add toppings.

Jared enjoyed the fish tacos, especially because it was a new dish for us. It was a great alternative to beef and chicken tacos. The yellow rice was a nice side dish as well.

Wife Rating: A
Considering I am that big into fish, I enjoyed the tacos. I thought all of the toppings and sour cream mixture created a nice flavor, plus the taco seasoning was a perfect "marinade" for the fish.

We will definitely make this dish again!
