Summer 2011, Day 3: Mahi Mahi Tacos with Strawberry Salsa

Today we made Mahi-Mahi fish tacos. Maji-Maji tacos are from the California strawberry cookbook.

My mom really wanted to do this recipe, so I agreed. I thought we should do an Ellie Krieger recipe, so I also made Apple Brown Betty.

But back to the tacos. They are actually really good. There are 3 parts.

• The Fish.
• The Chipotle Avocado Sour Cream.
• The Strawberry Salsa.

First, the fish. What you do is season the fish with cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. And chili, if you want, which I didn't. Then you grill it on a grill pan. That's it.

For the sour cream. Basically, you just get sour cream, chop up some avocado (we used a whole one), and a teaspoon of chipotle chili in adobo sauce (comes in a can). You don't have to add the chipotle, if you don't want to. Mash it all together and there you have it.

The Strawberry salsa you just chop up red onion, strawberries, mango, papaya (we used frozen mango and papaya), and cilantro. It's a sweet salsa.

I give it 1 3/4 Thumbs Up, and my brother's friend also gave it 1 3/4 Thumbs. My mom LOVES it and gives it MORE than 2 Thumbs Up.

She says this is a definite repeat meal. I liked it.

Day 39 - Salsa

Cookbook - Jamie's Food Revolution

Today was pretty good. To top it off, I made some super good salsa. Salsa is so easy to make. Extremely. It's probably the easiest thing we've ever made. And that's really saying something because we've made a lot of easy things.

All you do is chop together a clove of garlic, some green onion, tomatoes, cilantro, and chile (which we didn't use). Do this really finely, and I'm getting really good at chopping things finely, in my opinion.

I think my chopping skills are getting better. I'm quite happy about that because that's cool because now I can become a better chef.

Put it into a bowl after it's all finely chopped together. Put in some salt and pepper, and mix it. Squeeze in some lime. And then you're done.

We made some really good tacos tonight and my mom's really good rice recipe. It's SO good that Jamie Oliver should add it in his next book. The rice is good because it's made with love...and chicken broth. And it tastes really good. Tomatoey.

The tacos have potatoes and carrots and ground beef all cooked together.

Bam! You have a super good meal. One of my absolute favorites.
