Ingredients
8-12 corn tortillas (6-inches each), cut in thirds
All-natural vegetable or olive oil cooking spray
2 fillets sustainable, firm white fish
Old Bay seafood seasoning
Mexican Pesto (recipe below), shredded crispy lettuce and finely diced seeded tomatoes, for topping
For the Mexican Pesto:
3 jalapeño peppers or other medium-heat chili peppers
1 cup cilantro leaves
1 cup arugula
2 sprigs fresh oregano or marjoram leaves or 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
2 large cloves garlic, grated or pasted
1 scant tablespoon ground cumin
Zest and juice of 2 limes
1/4 cup pistachios or pepitas (pumpkin seeds), toasted
Salt and pepper
A splash of water
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
Directions
Pre-heat the oven to 400°F. Lightly spray the tortillas with cooking spray. Bake until crisp and light golden.
Lightly spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Cook the fish for 8-10 minutes until opaque. Flake into bite-size pieces.
Dress the tortillas with lettuce topped with warm fish and dot with pesto; top with diced tomatoes. For the Mexican Pesto (makes 1 1/2 cups): In a food processor, combine the chili peppers, cilantro, arugula, oregano or marjoram, garlic, cumin, lime zest and juice and the pistachios or pepitas; season with salt and pepper. Pulse-chop to combine, adding a splash of water to loosen. Turn the processor on and add the EVOO in a slow stream, blending until a thick sauce forms.
