Fiery Fish Tacos



















Anyone who knows me knows that I have a huge thing for fish tacos. This recipe is so quick and easy. The jicama in the salsa adds a really nice crunch.

Ingredients
  • ½ cup corn
  • ¼ cup diced red onion
  • ½ cup peeled, chopped jicama
  • ¼ cup diced red bell pepper
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
  • ½ lime, zested and juiced
  • 1 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 tablespoons cayenne pepper
  • ½ tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoons salt
  • 3 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia
  • 1 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 corn tortillas, warmed
Directions
  1. Preheat skillet for high heat.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together corn, red onion, jicama, red bell pepper, and cilantro. Stir in lime juice and zest.
  3. In a small bowl, combine cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, and salt. Brush each fillet with olive oil, and sprinkle with spices.
  4. Arrange fillets in pan and cook for 3 minutes per side. For each taco, top two corn tortillas with fish, sour cream, and corn salsa.

Spicy Turkey Wraps with Strawberry Salsa




These were so easy and so good. The strawberry salsa is great for summer. I changed the recipe a little. I used just normal taco seasoning for the turkey, sun dried tomato and basil wraps (didn't have any jalapeno ones at the store), and Gorgonzola cheese (was a lot cheaper than blue).











  • 2 pounds turkey tenderloins, cut into 1/2 inch slices
  • 1 (1 ounce) package Southwest marinade seasoning
  • 1 pound strawberries, diced
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • fresh ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 (10 inch) jalapeno and cheese flavored tortillas
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1 cup crumbled blue cheese
  1. In a medium bowl, toss the turkey with the Southwest marinade seasoning to coat, and allow to stand for 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare a strawberry salsa by stirring together the diced strawberries, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, and lime juice in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper; set aside.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey, and cook until firm and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Once done, microwave the tortillas for 30 seconds.
  4. To assemble, evenly divide the cooked turkey onto each tortilla. Top with spinach, blue cheese and strawberry salsa, and roll into a wrap.
