Quick and Easy Dinner

I love to cook. I love to watch TV Show about cooking. I also like creating my own recipes. This one turned out so good I wanted to share it with you. Simple Fish Tacos. I love this recipe.

Here is what you need!

Fresh Tilapai ( 3 filets makes 4 pretty big tacos)
Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning (you should have this in your pantry at all times because it is good on everything)
Cayenne Pepper
Butter
Broccolli Slaw (you can get it at HEB where you would get a bag salad)
Cucumber Ranch Salad Dressing
Maple Syrup
Wheat Tortillas

*Optional*
Onion (sliced)
Cilantro (chopped)

Okay, so you have all your ingredients. If you have a heavy cast iron skillet great, if not grab a skillet. On a side note, an electric skillet is a great investment in your kitchen.

Put a tabelspoon of butter in the skillet on med high heat, as the butter melts add Creole seasoning and Cayenne Pepper. I don't measure anything, just put enough Creole Seasoning in to cover the skillet, if you want more go for it. Don't go as nuts with the Cayenne Pepper because it is pretty hot. If you like hot add more if you don't, just use a little.

Once the butter is melted and mixed with the seasoning, put your filets in the skillet (it should be hot by now) add seasoning to the top of the fish and cook for 4-5 minutes and flip them over. After about 3 minutes, using a fork start breaking the fish into small pieces, reduce heat,add a tbsp of maple syrup and keep moving the fish around. In 2 minutes you should be done. Serve on a whole wheat Tortilla, add brocolli slaw and Cucumber Ranch and enjoy. ONion and Cilantro is an option to add to the taco. Finally, if you haven't tried Chalula Hot Sauce you have to. It is in the same form as Tabasco and it blows it away. Get it at HEB

Have fun with your food. Julia Childs always did.
