Summer calls for light dinners and Fish Fajitas really fit the bill. Not a fan of fish? You can always substitute chicken, or any meat you prefer.
Fish Fajitas
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 pounds halibut or other firm white fish (or substitute meat of your choice), cut into bite-sized chunks
1 small onion, peeled, halved, and sliced
2 red and/or yellow peppers, cored, quartered, and sliced
Prepare onions and peppers and set aside.
Whisk together olive oil, cumin, salt and pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Add halibut and stir.
Heat a large frying pan over high heat until very hot. Add halibut and marinade mixture. Add onions and peppers and fry until fish is just cooked and veggies still have some crunch. Don't overcook. Serve with warm corn tortillas, guacamole, and chopped fresh cilantro.
Happy summer!
This recipe look absoulutely delicious. THanks for sharing!!

This recipe is just perfect for me as a vegetarian/seafood eater (or is there such a thing?)

These are a staple here in Texas. We've called them Fish Tacos for years. We even have a shrimp one that will knock your socks off!

After reading this yesterday - guess what we had for dinner last night! It was excellent and I found tortillas with 12g of fiber that tasted really good. Healthy, healthy, healthy.

Yum! We did this very same thing when we visited Florida this past winter. We had gone out on a gulf fishing expedition and came home with a lot of fish. We looked in my daughter's fridge and saw peppers-onions-and guacamole. A perfect trifecta combine to make a yummy meal.

I was planning on making something similar tonight - fish tacos. I'm using cod and then I marinate some chopped cucumbers in vinegar and some iceberg lettuce in lemon juice, add guac and salsa. Good times.

I sadly don't have any recipes for white fish, I always do salmon. This looks great, I can't wait to try it. Thanks!
