Tax day / hump day / and almost Wenatchee day


Saturday, Apr 18
Hi: 72°
Lo: 47°
Mostly Cloudy
Precipitation: 20%


There you have it... the Wenatchee forecast for Saturday.  Completely workable.  Got a hat and some sunglasses and some gloves.  I'm GOOD to go :)   My shin and lungs aren't,  but my mind and attitude are !!!

I'm at home today... my three favorite words "working from home" ...  blech.. I was online this morning at 3:30am, working, in bed, with the dog looking at me like I am nutty. Currently,  the dog is crabby with me.  She walks by me, does a big heavy sigh, rolls her eyes and looks at me with disdain.  Apparently,  me being home is messing with her sleep schedule.  Sorry... 

I do have time to get caught up on magazines and i found a snazzy totally easy recipe that even I can do !  This is what we'll be having for dinner tonight.  Although,  I'm switching out the sour cream from Greek yogurt ...  a really good sauce for baja tacos is greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic and cilantro. 

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 3/4 pound mahi mahi or other firm white fish fillets
  • 2 teaspoons fajita seasoning
  • 2 cups presliced green cabbage (about 6 ounces)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream, divided (optional)
  • 1/2 avocado, pitted and diced
  • Bottled salsa
  • Lime wedges

Preparation

1. Lightly spray grill rack with nonstick cooking spray, and preheat grill.

2. Sprinkle both sides of fish with fajita seasoning, gently pressing into flesh. Grill fish 3-4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Flake into pieces with a fork; keep warm.

3. In a small bowl, mix together cabbage, lime juice, salt, and cilantro.

4. Wrap the tortillas in paper towels, and microwave 1 minute on HIGH or until they're warm.

5. Place taco ingredients on the table for assembly. Spread each tortilla with 1 teaspoon of sour cream, if desired, and top with fish, cabbage mixture, and avocado. Serve with salsa and lime wedges on the side.

Hmmm... I'm LOVING the greek yogurt idea as I already love Tahziki but not as much as I love sour cream. I'll DEFinitely be giving that a try.

YUM-O!
