mmmm

one of our favorite meals: 
(Yes, this was our Super Bowl watching dinner... instead of pizza, wings, yummy chip & dips, etc):
 Grilled Fish Tacos with Baja Sauce and Black Bean Salad
(click links above for recipes)
You can use any number of different toppings, and we switch it up each time, but we went to Publix before this meal so we had everything we wanted:

- Tilapia Filets (lightly marinated/seasoned with whatever Ben threw in there)
- Flour tortillas (my mom uses corn tortillas)
- shredded cabbage (or lettuce)
- diced tomatoes
- diced avocado
- chopped cilantro (as though the baja sauce didn't have enough)
- cheese (i didn't use any this time, but monterey jack would be best)
- sliced red onion (we didn't use this time b/c it's in the black bean salad)
- Baja Sauce (recipe above)
- Lime wedges (squeezed over top)
(Ben tends to put some black bean salad directly in his taco also vs. eating it on the side)

Do any of you like fish tacos?  I've found some great ones in restaurants, too lately.  Let me know if you try any of these recipes! ENJOY!

yes, my friend made them for me. I was frowning, but then I ate one. They are so good. She added lime, slaw and black beans, but I can't wait
to try this sauce and make them for her. Great picture.
