  • 2 tsp taco seasoning Or combine cumin and chili powder.
  • 2 cups rice Plain, brown, or seasoned with lime.

  • 1/2 cup yogurt or sour cream For slaw.

  • 1 cup corn or beans Your choice for topping.
  • 1/2 cup jalapeños Optional, for heat.
  • 1/4 cup cilantro Optional, for garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the fish with taco seasoning generously.
  2. Heat a skillet and sear the seasoned fish until flaky and golden.
  3. While the fish is cooking, prepare the rice by microwaving or cooking it on the stove.
  4. In a bowl, mix the shredded cabbage with lime juice, yogurt or sour cream, and salt to taste.
  5. Once the fish is cooked, flake it into large bite-sized chunks.
Assembly
  1. Layer rice in bowls, followed by slaw, fish, diced tomatoes, corn or beans, and any additional toppings.
  2. Drizzle with hot sauce if desired and add plenty of lime juice before serving.

Notes

Use fresh limes for the best flavor. Don’t crowd the fish while cooking to achieve crispy bits. Adjust salt as needed and make extra for great leftovers.
