Fish taco marinade

  • Marinade
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons lime zest
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay™
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, or to taste
  • 1 pound tilapia fillets, cut into chunks

  To make the marinade, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, lime zest, honey, garlic, cumin, chili powder, seafood seasoning, black pepper, and hot sauce in a bowl until blended. Place the tilapia in a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the fish. Cover, and refrigerate 6 to 8 hours. 

Will probably omit the hot pepper sauce so it can be added at the end. MMMM. 

Might also try this on shrimps!

Chicken Tacos with Mango Avacado Salsa

We made this last night for dinner and it was SO GOOD.

To make it veggie for Hann, I got the Morningstar "Chicken Strips" and treated them like regular chicken.

The only thing I'd change from the recipe is to cut the chicken into strips before you saute, so it doesn't take as long to cook. I had trouble with the middles getting done, cut into strips and it worked perfectly.

Also, we subbed flour tortillas for corn, and had Mexican rice and Black Beans on the side.

YUMMM!
