Fish Tacos

Fish Tacos with Chipotle Cream Salsa
Mindy

Breaded tilapia
1 bag of shredded coleslaw
grated cheese
fresh flour tortillas

Chipotle Cream Salsa
1/2 c sour cream
2 chipotle peppers in adobe sauce
1/2 lime juice
pinch of sugar
salt

Cook tilapia (shred, if desired) and place in warm tortilla with coleslaw and grated cheese, pour cream sauce over the top.

I was in a dinner group for two years with friends from my neighborhood.  This recipe comes from the family cook book of one of the ladies in the group.  We all loved the fish tacos.  If you're in a hurry just buy a chipotle dressing in the salad dressing section!

If you've never heard of a dinner group this is how ours worked:  We had four families of similar size.  One night a week one family would make a dinner entrée for all the families and take it each home.  I had Tuesday and would make food every Tuesday for all the families, but then Monday, Wednesday and Thursday someone was bringing food to us.  We used a certain size plastic, oven safe container to take the food each time to make it easy and kept passing that around each day.  Our group didn't usually do sides and dessert but because we sat down and planned a few months at a time we knew what was coming so we could have something to our taste to go with the entrée.  It was nice to see a good friend each day and not have to make a full meal each night.  If you do this, planning a few months ahead is smart so you don't all do pasta or chicken every night one week.  You might also want to discuss allergies and health goals.  It might seem expensive, but it saves you from having to go to the store for dinner food all the other nights and you can buy in bulk, which may actually save you money.
