Vic's Fish Taco's

My husband and I got the idea for these fish taco's when we couldn't seem to find a recipe that didn't include mayo, which we are not a fan of. We decided pico de gallo would team up great with the fried fish, and boy were we right! They are delicious, and the lemon juice gives it the perfect tang. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do :)


Ingredients

1 small bag Louisiana, New Orleans style fish fry
1 container store bought pico de gallo
3 fresh lemons
1 pckg tortillas
4 pieces talapia
Tsp Mexican style chili powder
 Shredded lettuce
Cheddar cheese

Step one.
 Cut talapia into halves. Pour fish fry into bowl and add tsp of Mexican chili powder to the mix, coat each piece, deep fry until golden brown.


Step two
Add deep fried talapia to tortilla, squeeze lemon juice over fish, add pico de gallo, lettuce, and cheese, fold over and enjoy :)

I wasn't going to start this blog tonight. I was going to wait until next week but I just couldn't do it. I was far too excited! My husband and I love to cook, so it was only natural that we start a cooking blog. My husbands mother used to make this for him. I had never even heard of it until I met him, but I must say it's really good. So here is our hungry boy casserole, enjoy :)

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper

1 garlic clove, minced

1 cup Ketchup

3/4 cup water

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 (16-oz.) can baked beans

1 can Pillsbury biscuits

 Preheat oven to 425 degrees. 

In a 12 inch skillet combine ground beef, onions, celery, bell pepper, garlic. 
Cook until no longer pink, then drain. 
Back into skillet.. Add ketchup, salt, paprika, baked beans, simmer for 10 minutes, or longer if you'd like. 
Pour mixture into casserole dish, lay biscuits on top of mixture. 
Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes
(I just kept an eye on it, until the biscuits were done). 

Serve, and enjoy! :)
