Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Fish

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with blackening seasoning, salt, and pepper.

2

Cook the Fish

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil. Once hot, add the seasoned fish fillets. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and has a nice blackened crust. Remove from heat and let rest.

3

Warm the Tortillas

In a separate skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

4

Assemble the Tacos

To each tortilla, add a layer of black beans, followed by the blackened fish, shredded red cabbage, jalapeño ranch dressing, and pico de gallo. Squeeze lime juice over the top.

5

Serve

Serve the tacos immediately with additional lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.
