Okay---because of the time change---I guess I'm entitled to be first this time.
The fish tacos were great--this one was the problem child---my own aversion to FISH TACOS!!!! Well, they were fantastic as the recipe was followed to the letter. I, of course, had to use a local fish, not tilapia, but it is a firm fleshed flat fish (say that ten times)and it worked beautifully. The onle change I would make in future is to just do the flour coating and eliminate the cornmeal, No big deal though.
The mango-avocado salsa was a very nice taste addition--the cilantro (not my favorite) was replaced with basil---YUMMM! AND the chipotle sauce was perfect!! (I had canned chipotles brought by my daughter on one of her visits---she knows how much I love new ingredients unavailable here).
I also made the shrimp seviche tostada----the shrimp poaced with the lime juice was a wonderful taste experience--every bite was an explosion of flavor. I added a touch of minced garlic and was pleased. I had to make a change with the jicama--water chestnuts--may be a very different result but no complaints here!!!
I also made a very simple shrimp and cheese quesadilla (my own conception) that was okay--not great!
The guacomole was the perfect touch!!
SEAFOOD anyone---my favorite!!! And there is great availablity here--with SOME products.
All in all---a great menu and will do again when the Mexican theme should hit me-----
Can't wait to hear about your experiences
What's next!!!
