Since our recipe contest theme this week is “Mexican” I thought I would share with you one of my favorite Mexican-inspired recipes! (Did you enter yet? What are you waiting for!)
Ever since I moved to Southern California, I have fallen in love with fish tacos. They are light and fresh, crispy and delicious! Today I wanted to give fish tacos a little bit of a twist and turn them into a taco salad.
This recipe is a snap to make. I use coleslaw mix to get the salad started, then whip up a creamy dressing with Mexican crema, lime juice, and a dash of hot sauce. The fish becomes nice and crispy thanks to a spicy cornmeal coating. I like to finish it all off with some cilantro, a quick squeeze of lime and diced avocados.
Just last night I had the pleasure of attending a California Avocados dinner with a great group of Los Angeles based food bloggers! We gathered at BLD restaurant with an entirely avocado-centric meal by Chef Neal Fraser. (Check out some of the recipes here.)
From an Avocado Pisco Sour cocktail through an Avocado Olive Oil Cake with Mascarpone Ice Cream for dessert, it was a celebration from start to finish! You really can’t go wrong with this delectable super-food.
