Black Beans and Rice

Method

Breaded Tilapia

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading Station

    Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour mixed with salt and black pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs.

  2. 2

    Bread the Tilapia

    Coat each tilapia fillet first in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with bread crumbs. Ensure each piece is well coated.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tilapia

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breaded tilapia fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Cuban Slaw

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded green cabbage, grated carrots, sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro.

  2. 5

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss until well combined. Let it sit for 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Avocado Crema

  1. 7

    Prepare the Avocado Crema

    In a food processor, combine ripe avocados, sour cream, lime juice, minced garlic, and salt.

  2. 8

    Blend

    Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt to taste.

Tropical Pico

  1. 9

    Prepare the Pico Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine diced tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, diced mango, and chopped cilantro.

  2. 10

    Make the Dressing

    Add lime juice and salt to the bowl and mix gently.

  3. 11

    Chill and Serve

    Let the pico sit for at least 10 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.

Black Beans and Rice

  1. 12

    Heat the Black Beans

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 13

    Combine Ingredients

    Add canned black beans, cumin, and salt to the saucepan. Stir to combine and heat through for about 5 minutes.

  3. 14

    Serve with Rice

    Serve the black beans over cooked rice.
