Grilled Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa and Cilantro-Lime Yogurt Sauce

Ingredients:
-- 1/2 lb. boneless tilapia fillets
--Soft corn tortillas
--8 oz. PLAIN Greek yogurt
--2 limes
--1 bunch cilantro, chopped
--1 mango, diced
--1 sm. red onion, diced
--1 med. red bell pepper, diced
--12 thick slices cucumber, diced
--1/4 sm. head red cabbage, shredded
--1 avocado, pitted and sliced
--1 clove of fresh garlic, minced
--1/2 tsp. sea salt
--1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
--1 tsp. olive or grapeseed oil
--1/4 tsp. ancho chili powder
--1 can black beans, cooked, rinsed

Directions:

1. Combine diced mango, garlic, onion, cucumber and red pepper with apple cider vinegar and grapeseed or olive oil. Add in about 2/3 cup chopped cilantro, juice of one lime and a dash of salt. Mix well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Salt fish fillets lightly and dust with ancho chili powder. Grill or sautee fish until browned at edges and no longer translucent. While you're cooking this, prepare the yogurt sauce.

3. For yogurt sauce, in a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt (stirred), juice of half a lime, a handful of chopped cilantro and a pinch of salt. Add in a few teaspoons of water to thin the sauce so it's spoonable. Set aside.

4. Warm corn tortillas in microwave if you wish. Cut tilapia into chunks and place onto tortilla, topping with yogurt sauce and salsa, then adding cabbage, black beans and avocado to your liking. Squeeze more lime juice right into the taco if you like.

5. Pinch yourself. You're not in Mexico. ;)

Cynthia's Spicy Shredded Pork

My friend made this the other night and it was simply fantastic. This is a Pioneer Woman Cooks recipe. Since this will be making a regular appearance in our house I thought I would share it with you.


Ingredients

  • 4 pounds (up To 7 Pounds) Pork Shoulder
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon (to 2 Tablespoons) Salt
  • Pepper To Taste
  • 3 cloves (to 4 Cloves) Garlic
  • 1 Tablespoon (to 2 Tablespoons) Olive Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons (to 3 Tablespoons) White Wine Vinegar
  • ¼ cups Brown Sugar
  • 1 whole Onion
  • Lime Wedges


Rinse and pat dry the pork shoulder.


To begin, just throw the dried oregano, cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, garlic, olive oil, white wine vinegar and brown sugar into a food processor or blender. (I happen to love brown sugar in my cooking, but you can decrease or omit it if you like.)


Cut one onion into quarters and put it in the food processor with the spices. Blend mixture until totally combined and then pour it over the pork shoulder.


Now rub it into every nook and cranny of the meat, tucking it under folds an in crevices. Let no stone go unturned. Then place the pork into a roasting pan or Dutch oven and add a couple of cups of water. Cover tightly and roast pork at 300º for several hours, turning once every hour.

When it is fork tender, crank up the heat, remove the lid, and roast it, skin side up for another 15 to 20 minutes to get the skin crispy. When it’s done, let it rest for 15 minutes before shredding.


Shred the pork shoulder (two forks work well). When it’s all shredded be sure to pour the juices all over the meat. Serve with warm tortillas, lime wedges, sour cream, pico de gallo, guacamole, tomatillo salsa … whatever makes your skirt fly up!

    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions
