Chipotle Tilapia fish taco's with a cilantro, and mango chutney, with a chipotle aioli, served with black beans and rice. I used to make this dish at my last place of employment. They were always a sell out, and never made it to dinner service. I guess you could say they were a lunch special, and they are delicious! VERY GOOD RECIPE :)

Ingredients list:

  • 1 lbs of Fresh Tilapia,Chipotle Talipia Taco's Recipe, With A Cilantro, Mango Chutney - A Must Try Recipe, Great Dish Articles you can use frozen, if you can't find fresh.
  • 1-2 bunches of fresh Cilantro3
  • 1-2 fresh ripe Mangoes
  • 1/2- 1 fresh Jalapeno
  • 1/2 lime for juice
  • 1 clove of minced garlic paste
  • 1 small Red Onion or a sweet White Onion, the red just gives it a better eye appeal
  • 1 can of Chipotle Peppers in Adobo sauce, check you Hispanic food section at you local grocery store.
  • 3-4 Tbsp of dried Chipotle chili for a dry rub
  • 1-2 T of Salt and Cracked Pepper for dry rub
  • 1/2-1 tsp of garlic powder for dry rub
  • 1/4-1/2 Cup of Canola oil
  • 1/4 Cup of Mayo
  • 2 Cans of Black Beans, with added fresh garlic about 1-2 cloves ,with salt to taste, and then cooked together for about 10-15 minutes
  • 3-4 Cups of prepared Aborio rice, I like to add Fresh Corn, and Red Bells with some fresh Cilantro and salt.
  • 1 Package of Whole Wheat tortillas, or Flour if you prefer
  • 1 package of Coleslaw mix, it has shredded red cabbage, green cabbage and carrots

Ready the Tilapia for the Dry Rub: First you will make sure the fish is fresh and that it is clear of all bones. You will then make sure the fish is dry of all moisture. Then add the fish to the oil, and remove to a sheet pan. You will take all of the dried spices, and salt and pepper, and mix. You will then get a pan, add your Tilapia and apply a generous coating of the dry rub to your Tilapia. Set the fish aside and let it hang out while you prepare your chutney. You can refrigerate if you think it will take you very long to prepare you chutney, and Chipotle aioli.

Your Mango Chutney: You will remove the skin from your Mango, cut it and remove the pith. You will fine chop the red onion, and mince the garlic. You will also very finely chop the Jalapeno. You can add as much or little of the Jalapeno for desired taste. You will be adding a Chipotle Aioli as the sauce for the taco. It will have some heat to it, so if you want to omit the Jalapeno altogether the taco's will be fine without it.

Chipotle Aioli: If your can of Chipoltle in the Adobo sauce, is a puree you will be a step ahead. If your Chipotle peppers are whole in the can, and in the sauce you will need to puree at this time. No big deal takes 2-3 minutes. After you have the puree you can add half of it to the mayo, and garlic powder, or all of the Chipotle puree at this time. You can add as much or little it just depends on the amount of heat you prefer to you taco's. You just need to make sure you are tasting as you are adding your puree to the mayo to get the desired heat for your palate. A little of this puree goes a long way, and it has a really great flavor. Mix well, and add minced garlic paste and refrigerate.

Preparing the Tilapia: In a med saute pan you will heat over medium to low high heat, add some canola oil. Add the dry rub coated Tilapia and saute quickly, and turn. Do not over cook, it will only take about 2-3 minutes on each side. Take the Tilapia out of the saute pan and let it rest for about 2-3 minutes and start to prepare you plates for food service.

Plating your Tilapia Taco's: Add your serving of rice and beans to the plate. Add 2 tortillas, and add your Chipotle Aioli on the open faces. You can add a little, or a generous portion, it is your preference. You will then add some of the coleslaw mixture on each of the tortillas. Then add the Tilapia, and then the Mango chutney. If you like you can also add some of the black beans as well. You can also add extra cilantro for garnish. I hope that you enjoy these Tilapia taco's they have always been a real hit. Enjoy!

Creme Brulee Recipe and History

Creme Brulee Recipe and History

Creme Brulee is a classic dish of smooth custard, with a caramelized sugar topping. Creme Brulee is highly contested on the actual origin of this delectable dish. I am looking back over my notes taken while attending a French Culinary school. The dish that I have cooked many times, are of course, the so called Classical French version. There are many different opinions on where the dish originally came from, such as Spain, England or France. I just know that Creme Brulee is very easy to make, and it is equally delicious. It is one of my favorites, and it is always a hit at any dinner event.

Pasta Puttanesca, Lady Of The Night Pasta, Great Dish As A Main Course

This is a great dish, and it has many great and different flavors. It was originally made for the working women in Italy. It was supposedly very easy to make if you were in a time crunch, and the ingredients were not expensive. The women did not have much time to eat and not very much money to spend on food. I assume that the carb values also came in handy. This sauce should take maybe 20-30 minutes, so if you want a fast and easy meal this is one to try. It is not for the faint pallet. You must like bold flavors in order to want to try this dish
