Cat's Culinary Adventures: Recipe of the Week

Once a week, DH does a cooking segment for his noon newscast. He works with the chef at a local hotel, who comes up with the dish and does the actual cooking. Last week, the dish was Fish Tacos and he enjoyed them so much he wanted me to make them at home. Since Mexican food is one of my favorites, I was happy to oblige!

I didn't really have a recipe, just my memory of how they did it on the show.

These are my not-very-exact directions:

Ingredients
Frozen Fish Patties - you need 1 per taco (We used Gorton's beer battered version)
Soft Corn Tortillas - the small taco-sized ones, not the big burrito-sized ones - you need 1 per taco.
Butter
Ranch Dressing
Sour Cream
Salsa
Shredded Cheese (we used Sargento 4-cheese Mexican shredded blend)
Shredded Cabbage

Directions
Prepare fish according to package directions. If you have a deep fryer, you can use that. We don't, so I baked them in the oven and it tasted fine. While the fish is baking, butter each side of the tortillas and fry them in a frying pan to brown them a bit. You still want them to be soft. Mix ranch dressing and sour cream to taste and set aside. When the fish is done, assemble the tacos - put one piece of fish on each tortilla, and top with the sour cream mixture, salsa, cheese and cabbage.

Here's a picture of the taco being assembled. I had forgotten the cheese. We didn't use the cabbage b/c on the show, DH said he didn't really like cabbage so I didn't buy any. He told me as we were making them that he thought the cabbage was actually good on the tacos. He could have mentioned that while we were at the grocery store! Well, there's always next time!
