It seems as if I'm always on a search for the perfect taco. Someting about the blend of all those Latin flavors gets my mouth secreting. Alas, while tacos may be delicious, they are also foolhardy high in the fat department, if you get my drift. In my pursuit of perfection, I engineered the perfect taco, with tilapia fish as the staple. The result: nothing short of extraordinary, and a measly 150 calories a piece! Who knew that eatin' good in the neighborhood could be born out of my very own kitchen?
Tilapia fish, adorned with a chipotle-adobo sauce, mango-lime-and-bell-pepper salsa, and black beans a-top a grilled corn tortilla. Too much goodness for one mouthful.
Bell peppers, mango, cilantro, red onion and lime: the perfect salsa fresca, voila.
A rainbow of goodies.
The chile-adobo sauce was easy as apple pie (wait, actually, I'm still not sure how to make apple pie). A bit of garlic, greek yogurt, a dollop of light mayo...
...and the secret ingredient, chipotle peppers! An amazing alternative to the sauces laden with creams and non-heart healthy fats.
I love beans, don't ask me why. Seasoned with a bit of red onion and a dash of cumin, you can go salt-free which equals guilt-free in my book. I prefer the organic ones, as they have double the protein and fiber than the generic sodium-packed ones.
The tilapia was supa dupa easy. Just a bit of soy-sauce, lime juice and olive oil, we're talking the perrrfect fish. I threw mine on the grill and pan fried with the help of Pam.
A little sprinking of feta cheese, and you've got yourself a gourmet dream! Bon appetit!
