I love the phrase “awesome sauce,” but I actually did find a recipe for awesome fish taco sauce! When I worked a trip to San Diego, my captain and I walked to a nearby Mexican restaurant where I tried fish tacos the first time and fell in love with them! Ever since, I’ve been trying to recreate this treasure, and what I came up with is truly yummy! I found the cilantro cream sauce online through simply-gourmet.com but I put the tacos together myself.
Cilantro Cream Sauce Ingredients:
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup mayo
1/2 tsp lime juice
1 jalapeno pepper
1 handful of cilantro
1 tsp onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until creamy. Make & set in fridge for at least 1 hour before serving. Now, for my fish taco ingredients (yields all 24):
1 pack of corn tortillas (24)
1 pack coleslaw salad
1 block of white mexican cheese (fresco)
Cilantro
6 tilapia filets
Seafood seasoning
Panko bread crumbs
Rinse fish filets in water and pat dry. Sprinkle both sides with seafood seasoning then cut into small strips. Coat with bread crumbs which will be sparse but adds a nice crunch. Cook both sides in a pan with a little oil for a couple minutes on each side. Set all aside. In the same pan, or another, add enough oil to coat the bottom. Place corn tortilla in oil and cook for a few seconds on each side. The best way to drain the grease is getting a stack of square napkins and alternating napkin with tortilla. The 4-ply napkins really absorb the oil! Otherwise, you may feel too nauseated from the grease. I learned the hard way… ha ha!
Let’s put them together! One corn tortilla, spread a little “awesome sauce” down the middle. Top with 2 – 3 fish strips, add some coleslaw salad, sprinkle a few sprigs of cilantro, then top with crumbled fresco cheese. Roll like a burrito, or fold in half. Since I made so many, I placed the rolled tacos in foil and set in the fridge. It reheats very well and fits perfectly in my lunchbox! Leave a small opening when heating it in the toaster oven to add a little crunch. Enjoy!!
Now, I’ve been asked about what it’s like being a Flight Attendant. I LOVE IT!!! It’s a completely unique industry and lifestyle. The best way to learn is to google it to read about it. There are 4 types of flight attendants: mainline (me, major carrier), regional (contract carriers to the majors and are the smaller planes), charter, and corporate. I’ll go over these later, but in the meantime, go to the following website to see who’s hiring, and come fly with me!!
