Fish Enchiladas

Ingredients

1 spray Spray olive oil
1 large White onions (diced)
1/2 medium (approx 2-3/4 inch long, 2-1/2 inch dia) Green bell peppers (diced)
1/2 medium (approx 2-3/4 inch long, 2-1/2 dia.) Red bell peppers (diced)
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Chili powder
1 tsp.. Ground cumin
1/8 tsp. Cayenne pepper
8 ounces Fresh cod (tilapia or rockfish is OK;cut into 1/2 inch pieces)
1/2 Cup Beer (dark beer is best)
6 tortilla, medium (approx 6 inch dia) Corn tortillas
1/4 cup Coriander (cilantro) leaves, raw
3 Tbsp. Reduced fat sour cream
1 1/2 Ounces Reduced fat monterey jack cheese (shredded)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300°F.

Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Spray lightly with oil and add the diced onion. Cook for about 5 minutes and add the diced peppers. Cook for another 2 - 3 minutes tossing regularly.

Add the salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper and fish. Toss and cook for about a minute and add the beer.

Cook for about 3 - 4 minutes and remove the pan from the heat.

Using a slotted spoon, fill each corn tortilla with 1/6th of the fish mixture, allowing the extra liquid to drain back into the pan. Add the cilantro to each tortilla as you go. Roll them and place 3 enchiladas on each plate.

Add the sour cream and the jack cheese to the remaining liquid in the bottom of the pan to make the sauce. Mix well, then spread over the enchiladas. Place the plates in the oven for about 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Recipe Notes

This is a fantastic way to have Mexican food. The same enchiladas in Mexican restaurant would set you back over 1,200 calories with a ton of fat and cholesterol. This is a leaner, healthier version that’s full of flavor and all the richness of cheesy enchiladas.

"Texas: 32 electoral votes, another of the so-called big enchiladas or if not an enchilada at least a huge taco."
