Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 onions (1/2 chopped, 1 1/2 thickly sliced)
1 15-ounce can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup spicy tomato salsa
Kosher salt
2 bell peppers (1 red, 1 yellow), thickly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 pound skinless halibut or snapper fillets, cut into 2-inch chunks
1 cup fresh cilantro
8 corn tortillas, warmed
Guacamole and lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, 3 minutes. Add the beans, salsa and 1/2 cup water. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 8 minutes; season with salt.
  • Meanwhile, toss the bell peppers and sliced onions with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, without stirring, until the vegetables are browned around the edges, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Toss the fish with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon each cumin and chili powder; season generously with salt. Scatter over the roasted vegetables and broil until the fish is just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Stir the cilantro into the beans and divide among plates. Serve with the fish, roasted vegetables, tortillas, guacamole and lime wedges.

Time 1h

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Instructions
  • In a small bowl, combine paprika, pepper, salt, oregano, sugar, garlic powder, and cayenne. Place fish in a large bowl, or zip-top bag, and add seasoning mixture. Stir or shake to coat well.
  • In a large pan, heat a small drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and peppers, and cook 5-7 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove onion and peppers from pan and set aside. Add another drizzle of olive oil and add about ⅓ of the fish. Cook 2-3 minutes per side, remove from pan and repeat with the remaining fish. (Don’t crowd the pan, this will help it to get slightly crispy on the outside and will prevent the fish from steaming).
  • To serve, add a few pieces of fish, peppers, and onions to each tortilla. Add a little lime juice and garnish with cilantro and cheese.
