Peachy Fish Tacos Recipe

I love fish tacos! I made these tacos recently for my family, and they were devoured- even the slaw! (My kiddos ate cabbage, AND they put it on their tacos!!! I'm so proud of them.) The crunch of the slaw (seasoned with Cherchies® Chardonnay Lime & Cilantro), the savory fish (seasoned with Cherchies® Select Grilling Rub & Seasoning Blend), Cherchies® Vidalia Onion & Peach Salsa, and the special sauce was a flavor party in our mouths.  

"Mom, these are so good!" Music to my ears;)

For your next taco night, whip up a batch of these flavorful fish tacos for your gang, but grab some for yourself because they will disappear before your eyes. Serve these tacos with our Chardonnay Lime & Cilantro Rice and Cherry Applesauce for a complete meal.

Ingredients

Preparation 

This step is optional, but I think it added a nice smokiness to the tacos.  Toast the corn tortillas on both sides over a low flame.  I tried toasting the tortillas in a cast iron pan for a few minutes, and although good, I preferred the tortillas over the flame.  You decide.  After the tortillas have toasted, place them in a tortilla warmer or cover them with a paper towel until ready to use.

Next, prepare the slaw.  In a medium bowl, add the slaw mixture, the lime juice, the chopped cilantro, and Cherchies® Chardonnay Lime and Cilantro Seasoning.  Set aside.

Now for the "special sauce".  Combine mayonnaise and our Select Grilling Rub & Seasoning Blend.  I had this cute decorator bottle I purchased a while ago, but you can get the same effect by putting the special sauce into a plastic bag and snipping off the corner.  Either way, the sauce will finish off the tacos at the end.

Add oil to griddle or pan (I have a griddle attachment that fits over my burners) and turn to medium heat. While griddle is heating up, season both sides of fish with a generous amount of Cherchies® Select Grilling Rub & Seasoning.   Cook fish a few minutes on each side, or until done (use a fork to check doneness by checking to see if fish flakes).

Now assemble to tacos.  After fish is finished cooking, flake the fish into chunks with a fork and place on tortillas.  Next add a generous amount of the slaw.  

Then add the peach salsa, and finally the special sauce.  There you go folks, fish tacos:) Ole!

Cooking Tip: How to Test the Freshness of Baking Soda

cooking tipsSheri SpalloneComment

How do you test the freshness of baking soda you ask?  It's all in the bubbles!  That would be a bummer to bake something you spent some time and love on only to find out your baking soda was flat (I'm passing this onto you, because this happened to me...luckily only once.   The moral of the story...check your baking soda if you haven't used it in a while).  Find out below:)

"Test baking soda by adding a teaspoon-ful to a 1/2 cup hot water.  If it doesn't bubble, then it's time to throw it out". - Julia Child.  

Look at that...bubbles! I guess mine's good;)

Pulle Pork Bowl Recipe

Pulle Pork Bowl Recipe

One of my son's favorite foods is pulled pork sandwiches (he must have gotten that from me).  After a day of slow cooking the pork and smelling the wonderful aromas all day, it was almost time for dinner...until I realized at the eleventh hour that I didn't have rolls to make the sandwiches.  Yikes!  Think mom, now what? Mashed potatoes! 

I quickly peeled a few potatoes and plopped them into boiling water, and in a short few minutes (you get the gist), I had mashed potatoes and a comforting pulled pork bowl!  This recipe is so easy...you throw the ingredients in a slow cooker and walk away!
