Sorry not the best of pictures, this was actually seconds. I couldn't wait to eat the first one!
Create a "pan-like" shape from aluminum foil. Place the foil on top of a cookie sheet. Drizzle olive oil on the bottom of the foil. Place fish fillets of your choice (I used Tilapia) on the foil and turn so each side gets a little bit of olive oil on it.
Sprinkle a generous amount of seasonings over the fish, I used plenty of salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and Montreal Mesquite Seasoning (really whatever you want, it just depends on how spicy you want it).
Put the fish under the broiler for 5-10 minutes. Watch the fish closely to make sure they don't burn. The edges of the fish will become somewhat blackened from all the seasonings. When the fish is done, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the tacos.
I used wheat tortillas that we just heated up for about 15 seconds in a kitchen towel in the microwave (you can also use flour or corn tortillas). Add shredded lettuce, cheese, diced tomatoes (not pictured because we were out), green onions, black beans and fresh lime for garnish. Place a fillet on each taco and serve with a generous amount of lime dressing.
Lime Dressing:
3/4 C Ranch
1/2 C salsa
1 t dill weed
1/2 t lemon pepper
3T Lime Juice
1 t ground pepper
1/8 t ground red pepper
1/2 t horseradish
2 T cilantro
3 t sugar (this offsets the lime juice, you can omit it if you want)
Blend all ingredients together in a blender until smooth.
Jared gave this one a big thumbs up and it was a super quick meal to make. It took me no longer that 30 minutes from start to finish. Success!!!
Yum! I've been a little wary of fish tacos, but these look really good! I'll be trying it :)
