Fast Fish Tacos

Wanted to make something good but easy last night, and I stumbled across a recipe by Robin Miller for fish tacos. I adapted it slightly to make it even quicker, and I was pretty happy with the results.

Ingredients:
Fish sticks
Tomato
Onion
Cilantro
Jalapeño pepper
Lime
Black beans (drained)
Sour cream
Flour tortillas
Uncle Ben's 90 second Spanish rice

I cooked the fish sticks according to the directions on the box. Then, I diced the tomato, one quarter of the onion, cilantro, and half the jalapeño and made pico de gallo. I seasoned it with salt and pepper and the juice from half of the lime.

Then all that was left was assembly. I microwaved the tortillas to make them pliable, then put on three fish sticks, a spoonful of the black beans, pico de gallo, sour cream, and served it with the rice on the side and the rest of the lime cut into wedges.

The freshly made pico de gallo was really good, just be careful when handling the jalapeño.

Easy Pizza

Bought some ingredients to make paninis the other night, but my ciabatta bread had gone moldy. Luckily I had some tortillas that I was able to use as pizza crusts.

I fired up the oven with my pizza stone in then assembled my pies. I made a couple of different varieties, all which were good.

Here is the list of my toppings. I used the provolone cheese and basil on each one.

Yellow tomato slices
Red bell pepper slices
Sun dried tomatoes, chopped
Basil
Smoked provolone cheese, I got fairly thick slices from the deli

I tore the cheese slices into pieces, then piled on some toppings. Baked on the pizza stone until the edge of the crust browned and the cheese was nice and bubbly. Made a couple with the yellow tomato, red pepper and basil, one with basil and red pepper, and one with the sun dried tomatoes and basil. The basil really adds a nice flavor to the overall pizza.

Of course I would have rather made my own crust, but this was so quick and easy I'll have to do it again.
