Birthday Celebration!

Before I tell you how good this feast was, let me link you to the song that won't let me keep me still no matter what state my head is in, and you can listen to it while you read.

To celebrate my mom's birthday last week, I cooked her fish tacos. We also enjoyed fresh watermelon, corn on the cob, and roasted sweet potatoes. Fish tacos are great to eat when it's hot outside. The fish takes very little time to cook on the stove, and the other ingredients are so cool and fresh.

My original recipe calls for fish seasoning. I actually ran out of that, so here's my updated version for you. To assemble the taco, I had the cooked tilapia, canned pineapple (though fresh would be amazing), fresh cilantro, fresh tomatoes, and fresh avocado. We had the choice of coleslaw blend or baby spinach, and included a fresh and slightly spicy yogurt sauce.

The fish was completely thawed and cut into chunks. I mixed everything in with the fish, and then cooked it on the stove in a frying pan, with no extra oil. I used a very large package of fish- the left bowl at the very back of the table is heaped with the cooked fish.

Fish Seasoning:
half lime zest and juice
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp savoury
a shake of chili powder
1 tbsp of olive oil

Greek Yogurt Sauce:
half lime zest and juice
3/4 c. plain greek yogurt (I like kirkland brand- it's not sour)
1/4 tsp chipotle
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 garlic powder
1/4 tsp savoury
1/4 black pepper
1/2 tsp salt

Let me know what you think of this! I hope you enjoy the rest of your week.
