Serves Two

Lovers of fried fish get the taste without all the calories, and the salsa adds a fresh, clean note. To complete the Baja theme, serve with black beans, some diced mango and a bit of light sour cream.

READER'S COMMENT:
"For those who could not get their batter to stick to the fish, make sure the fish is completely dry before you dip it in the batter, and/or lightly dust the fish with a bit of the flour before you make the batter mix. It's also important...

2 servings | Active Time: 30 minutes | Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

Tomato & Avocado Salsa, (recipe follows) or store-bought fresh salsa
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1/3 cup beer
8 ounces tilapia fillet, cut crosswise into 1-inch wide strips
2 teaspoons canola oil
4 corn tortillas, warmed
Preparation

Prepare Tomato & Avocado Salsa, if using.
Combine flour, cumin, salt and cayenne in a medium bowl. Whisk in beer to create a batter.
Coat tilapia pieces in the batter. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Letting excess batter drip back into the bowl, add the fish to the pan; cook until crispy and golden, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Serve the fish with tortillas and salsa.

Mmmmm!!! Seeing this recipe makes me miss Rubio's Fish Tacos in So Cal. This may just be the antidote!

Wilson I am asking that you remove this thread. I got the shots in my back the other day and in the pool dropping pounds.

Then I come on here and salivate like a conditioned dog. Hate you.;)


PS: I have no will power.

Think I will try it too. Beer is good for cooking lots of stuff and it has its side benefits.

This dinner is 9 points per serving! You have to make it *exactly* like they say, and extra points for the sour cream (optional!) but overall, it's not bad!!
