Healthy Fish Tacos

4 Tilapia filets, thawed

1 Tbsp Olive Oil

1 tsp Chile Powder with Lime Seasoning (McCormick)

1 tsp Garlic Seasoning Mix (McCormick)

1 tsp Fresh Garlic, minced

1 Cup Shredded Cabbage

1/2 Cup Diced Tomatoes

1 Bunch Fresh Cilantro

1 Can Mexican Style Black Beans

Pour olive oil into a skillet and heat on medium. When oil is warm carefully place tilapia filet's in pan. Sprinkle filet's with half of the chile powder and garlic seasonings. After about 2 minutes, flip the fish and sprinkle with the remaining seasoning. When fish is white all the way through break it apart with spatula and turn heat down to medium low. Add the garlic, half the cabbage, half the tomatoes, and a fourth of the black beans to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, until cabbage is wilted. Sprinkle with desired amount of salt and pepper. Reserve the remaining cabbage, tomatoes, black beans, and cilantro for taco stuffing.

Poblano Cream Sauce

1 Whole Poblano

1/3 Yellow Onion

2 Garlic Clove

1 cup skim milk

1 Chicken Bouillon Cube

1/4 cup Plain Yogurt

1/2 Bunch Cilantro

Salt and Pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wrap poblanos, onion, and garlic in tin foil and place in oven for about 20 minutes, or until soft. Remove from foil, peel off as much skin from the peppers as easily possible and remove stem and seeds.

In the meantime bring milk, bouillon cube, and salt and pepper to a simmer on the stove.

Combine all ingredients in a blender and puree.

Now you can build your own fish taco with a 6 inch whole wheat tortilla, fish mixture, cabbage, beans, cilantro, tomatoes, and poblano sauce.
