Tilapia Tacos Supreme

Contributed by: Melinda

Oh wow! This is such a perfect meal. Vibrant flavors and everything works so well together. Alhough it takes preparation, everything is very simple and easy to do.

1 lb. Tilapia fillets
6 large corn tortillas
2 large heirloom tomatoes (I use the pineapple variety - they're a bit sweeter)
1 medium red onion
1 bunch fresh cilantro
1 ripe jalapeno pepper (I grow my own, so I use the red ones)
2 cups finely shredded cabbage
1 large grated carrot
2 cups finely shredded iceburg lettuce
2 medium garlic cloves
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1 can black beans
1 large lime
Kosher Salt
Black Pepper
Hot Sauce

Salsa Fresca

Cut tomatoes across the middle (not through stem end) and remove any excess seeds if necessary
Remove stem core and slice thinly into pieces
Working a couple of pieces at a time, cut across and into 1/4 inch pieces
Place into a medium bowl
Cut red onion in half
Peel one half and dice finely - add to tomatoes
Peel and mince 1 garlic clove - add to tomatoes
Remove stem from jalapeno and chop into very fine mince - add to tomatoes
Cut lime in half and squeeze half into tomatoes
Add 1 tsp kosher salt
Chop about half of the cilantro bunch coarsely. Add a few tablespoons to the salsa.
Set salsa fresca aside for flavors to combine
Black Beans
Into a saucepan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil
Peel remaining half of onion and garlic clove
Finely dice onion and add to heated oil - cook until translucent
Meanwhile, mince garlic - add to onion
Pour in can of beans and add paprika
Stir to combine and add 1 tsp of lime juice (residual from first half or from remaining half)
Allow to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes so some of the liquid will evaporate
Turn off heat and add remaining chopped cilantro
Tortillas
Over medium, heat a cast iron skillet large enough for tortillas to lay flat
When hot, brush the bottom with olive oil and lay in a tortilla
Brush the top o the tortilla with olive oil
Cook until very lightly browned, turn and cook on reverse until very lightly browned
Keep tortillas in a warm oven
Tilapia
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat
When hot, add 2 tablespons olive oil
Salt and pepper tilapia
Place into the skillet
Squeeze remaining lime half over fish
Cook, turning once until done and flaky

To assemble: Place a tortilla on a plate, place some fish in the center, top with a spoonful of beans and a nice mound of greens. Top with salsa and hot sauce if desired as well as one or two of the remaining cilantro stems.
