Easy Fish Tacos

image source

I have to admit I was skeptical about fish tacos, but after much prodding from Sean I added it to our menu plan last week. These were SOO good!

Ingredients:

White fish (I used 3 tilapia fillets, which was plenty for two people)

1 bag cole slaw mix

miracle whip/mayonnaise

packet of taco seasoning

taco shells/tortillas

lime

toppings: cheese, sour cream, salsa

Thaw fish, pat dry with paper towel. Salt and pepper, bake at 350 for 10 minutes or until flaky.

While fish is baking, mix 1/4 packet of taco seasoning with 1 cup of miracle whip. Add enough cole slaw mix to make it proportional.

Remove fish from oven and flake apart with a fork. Sprinkle with lime juice.

Build tacos to your liking. Mine had hard shells with the slaw mix on the bottom, then fish, cheese and salsa.

Optional additions that might be good: avocado, mango salsa, cilantro

This meal was yummy, quick and inexpensive which means it will likely become a staple at my house!

Pepper stuffed chicken and corn casserole

Both my paternal grandmother and my mom have made me little scrapbooks of their favorite recipes. As someone who needs to build my cooking skills, these have come in handy so often! The other night I made these two dishes for dinner and they were SO good!

Corn Casserole:

1 can cream style corn

1 can regular corn, drained

1 box jiffy corn bread mix

1 cup sour cream

1 egg, beaten

Mix all ingredients together and bake for 45 minutes at 350.

Pepper stuffed chicken:

Pepperjack cheese

Banana pepper slices

Chicken breasts

Bacon

Pound out chicken breasts, put slices of pepperjack cheese and a few banana peppers in the middle then roll up and wrap with bacon. Use toothpicks to hold it in place.

Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes.

The banana peppers give it such an interesting flavor -- not something I have cooked with before. They're not spicy, which I appreciate. Craving it again right now. :) Hope you enjoy!
