Fish Tacos

A good taco is the sum of its parts... I like to re-fry my own pink beans, dredge the fish in some Cajun Spice and top it off with avocado, cheese and a little peppered Greek yogurt (doubling as sour cream). Here is a recipe from my (vegetarian) brother for fish taco seasoning. He assembles this himself at the grocery store from the bulk spice bins, so it is approximate - adjust the quantities to your liking.

Jake's Taco Seasoning
Ingredients:
4 Tbsp Paprika
1 Tbsp Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Onion powder
1 tsp Oregano
1tsp Thyme
1 tsp Black Pepper
1tsp Sea Salt
1 tsp Cumin (optional)

Taco Parts:
Beans - to re-fry your own: pour contents of can of pink or pinto or black beans into a pan coated with a little oil. Add a pinch of sugar & salt and then mush & squish some of the beans while slowly simmering on Medium-Low until desired consistency. Fish - dredge fish fillet in spice seasoning and grill until done or blackened.  Peppered "Sour Cream" - try Greek yogurt instead and add a sprinkle of cayenne, black pepper and a squirt of lime juice, stir. Tortillas - Corn or Wheat tortillas are best when warmed in an oiled pan. Additional toppings - traditionally cabbage, also good with lettuce, cheese, avocado, salsa, and/or lime... you name it.
