Fish Tacos with Fajita Vegetables & Black Beans
Serves 4

Ingredients:

16 ounces frozen Mahi Mahi, halibut or cod (1-inch thick fillets)
2 Tablespoons lime juice, divided
1 – 15 ounce can black beans
Dash hot sauce (optional)
8 corn tortillas
1/2 cup verde sauce
2 cups chopped green leafy lettuce
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 bell peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
1/2 onion thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions:

Defrost fish in refrigerator overnight, under cool running water or in microwave. Preheat oven to 400°.

Pat fish dry with paper towel. Cut into 1-inch thick strips. Place fish in oiled baking dish. Bake 15-20
minutes. Fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and looks opaque. Remove from oven and drizzle 1 Tablespoon lime juice over fish.

Rinse black beans (to reduce sodium). Add 1-2 Tablespoons water and a dash or 2 of hot sauce (optional) to beans. Heat in the microwave or on the stovetop (on low). Stir occasionally.

Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium high heat. Add peppers and onions to hot pan. Let the bell peppers brown a little so don’t stir too often. Take vegetables off heat while still a little crisp to the bite (about 5 minutes). Toss with 1 Tablespoon lime juice and chili powder just before serving.

Heat tortillas briefly in microwave or oven. Layer fish, verde sauce, and lettuce. Serve with black beans and fajita veggies.
