BLACK BEAN AVOCADO SALSA



Black Bean Avocado Salsa image

This has to be my favorite summer salsa. It's colorful and fresh tasting. It makes a bunch, so invite some friends over. I like to take the lime after it's been juiced and rub down the bowl I will be serving the salsa in. I also rub the lime on the plastic wrap this will help keep the avocados from turning brown. Don't forget the tortilla chips!

FISH TACOS WITH MANGO AVOCADO SALSA



Fish Tacos With Mango Avocado Salsa image

What is so good about these are a fresh fruit salsa, avocado cream, grilled fish, and I love a light cabbage to bring it all together. Now, you can add tomato, or black olives which is one of my favorites and it is a very inexpensive easy dish. You can also add beans right to the dish which is also really good, or ... What is so nice, is make some of my black beans, just sauteed with garlic, lime, fresh peppers, cumin, onions makes an amazing quick side dish. If all that isn't enough, corn on the cob. Just throw some in the oven or on the grill. Or just wrap up in foil which is what I like to quite a bit. Just brush with olive oil, lime juice, salt and pepper mixed with chili powder. Just brushed on the corn. Wrapped and grilled. Then throw in some some yellow rice or Mexican rice on the side, cooked in chicken broth with scallions and cilantro and you have dinner for up to 6 people for hardly anything. But don't forget the margaritas. I am always saying that you can really have a great quick dinner with amazing flavor that really doesn't cost much. This is it!!

Categories     Weeknight

Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 24

3 tilapia fillets, pan seared and just broken up
12 -24 flour tortillas (1 package)
1 cup flour
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 1/2 cups shredded cabbage, makes life easy (I just use the store bought bagged)
1/2 cup avocado, mashed
1 cup sour cream
salt
2 mangoes, skin removed (large and chopped)
2 avocados (large or 3 large, and chopped)
1 jalapeno (depending on how spicy you like it)
1/4 cup red pepper, cut fine
1/2 cup red onion, diced fine
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
2 limes, juice of
2 tablespoons cilantro
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
salt
pepper
15 ounces black beans, rinsed and drained
black olives

Steps:

  • Salsa -- now I won't go into the whole avacado and mango peel routine. I am sure most people have seen it. And if you haven't there are enough sites on the web to tell you how to do that. So I will skip that. So -- that aside -- Salsa -- after chopping all the fruit and vegetables, mix the mango, avocado, onion, jalapeno, cilantro, red pepper, oil, garlic, seasoning, lime juice, and just set to the side covered well with plastic wrap.
  • Avocado Creme -- just a dash of salt if needed, I don't add more than just a pinch, sour cream and avocado. I just mash wish a fork. Honestly guys and gals -- just add to a baggie and squeeze. Save the bowl and fork. Why not. I like to add it to a small bowl when I serve it but for a quick make -- it works just fine.
  • Take a couple of cups of the cabbage -- right out of the bag. Just hit it with salt and pepper. Nothing more. Like a pinch. It just reduces the juice. Put in a serving bowl and set to the side. Cover with plastic wrap. Nothing more.
  • The garnish -- open can, drain and put in bowl -- I think we can all handle that. I will never be offended if someone doesn't like them. Black olives to me just work well with mango and avocado and fish, so. I like them as a topping.
  • Now -- the salsa is made and all the flavors are mixing together. The avocado cream is chilling, And now the fish -- We are all done. Five (5) minutes and taco time.
  • Fish -- in a large baggie mix the salt, pepper and flour. Then just lightly toss fish fish to coat lightly. Now in a large frying pan non stick I prefer for this, add the oil and heat to medium heat. Just pan saute the fish until lightly brown on each side. It only takes 2 or so minutes per side. Once done -- just remove the fish and drain on a paper towel.
  • Beans -- just heat up in a measuring cup in the microwave. Nothing more for this -- ok some time a squirt some lime in it if if had some left. not a big deal. Enough big flavors for this dish.
  • Tortillas -- I wrap my tortillas in foil and just warm up in the oven as I cook the fish. They just take 10 minutes. is all. Nothing much. They can also be heated up on a grill too.
  • Dinner -- Just serve all the ingredients so everyone can put them together them selves. Taco Bar Style. A bowl of the fresh fish, just broken up, the cabbage, beans, the sauce, olives and the salsa. Now, if you want to add some salsa, tomato based you can. To me NO WAY.
  • Ok - Tortilla warm, then -- Cabbage chilled, then -- Warm beans, then -- Fish warm, then -- Sauce chilled, then -- Salsa chilled, -- Now -- everyone has the best fish taco around trust me. I have a taco party every year. I make this and also make the traditional and then a chicken one. This is by far the requested one.
  • If you want cheese, I prefer a provolone or monterey jack, bland, but I don't for this dish.
  • That taco bar is worthy or any party. If I add the beans to the dish I don't add as a side. but a nice green salad and some rice is such a easy thing to add. This is one of my OH SO INEXPENSIVE MEALS. with summer prices for fruit and Tilapia so cheap. This easily feeds 6-8 and is worth entertaining with.
  • Remember to make in steps. There are a lot, but nothing is hard.

AVOCADO AND ROASTED TOMATILLO SALSA



Avocado and Roasted Tomatillo Salsa image

I have been making tomatillo and avocado salsa for years, but I usually simmer the tomatillos rather than roasting them. Roasting the tomatillos, chiles and garlic - toasting really, as I use a skillet for this, on top of the flame - produces a salsa with a delicious charred flavor. I learned something recently from the chef Iliana de la Vega, who demonstrated the recipe at the "Healthy Kitchens, Healthy Lives" conference in Napa Valley in March: she says, in no uncertain terms, that you should not add water to tomatillo salsas. Without the water, this is a more intense salsa with pleasing density.You can use it as a sauce to serve with chicken or fish, or as a dip with chips or other vegetables.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, lunch, sauces and gravies, appetizer

Time 25m

Yield About 2 cups, serving 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound tomatillos, husked
1 to 2 serrano chiles (to taste), stems removed
1 medium garlic clove, unpeeled
1 slice white or red onion
1/2 cup chopped cilantro, with stems
1 medium avocado
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place tomatillos in pan and toast until charred on 1 side, about 10 minutes for a medium or large tomatillo. The color in the middle should be fading from pale green to olive. Turn tomatillos over and continue to grill until charred on the other side, about 10 minutes, but not for so long that they burst. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.
  • Place chile(s), garlic clove and onion slice in skillet and toast, turning often, until chile is lightly charred and garlic is charred in spots and softened. The onion should be lightly colored on both sides but not charred black (that will make it bitter). Remove from heat. Peel the garlic and transfer, with the onion and chiles, to a blender. Add tomatillos and any liquid that may have accumulated in the bowl.
  • Add remaining ingredients to blender and blend until smooth. Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1/2 pound tomatillos, husked, rinsed, cored, chopped
1 large avocado, halved, pitted, peeled
1/2 jalapeño chile with seeds, stemmed
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 green onion, chopped
4 (7- to 8-ounce) mahi-mahi fillets
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup diced peeled cored pineapple

Steps:

  • Spray grill rack with nonstick spray and prepare barbecue (medium-high heat).Blend next 5 ingredients in processor to coarse puree; season salsa with salt.
  • Brush fish with olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until just opaque in center, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to plates. Top with salsa and pineapple.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Use avocados that are ripe but not mushy. Ripe avocados will be dark green or black and will yield to gentle pressure.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your salsa the best flavor. If possible, use tomatoes, onions, and cilantro that are in season.
  • Dice the ingredients evenly: This will help the salsa to have a consistent texture. If you are using a food processor, pulse the ingredients until they are evenly chopped.
  • Add the lime juice and salt to taste: The lime juice will brighten the flavors of the salsa and the salt will help to balance them out. Start with a small amount of each and add more to taste.
  • Serve the salsa immediately or refrigerate it for later: Avocado salsa is best served fresh, but it can also be refrigerated for up to 2 days. If you are refrigerating the salsa, let it come to room temperature before serving.

Conclusion:

Avocado salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture and fresh, vibrant flavor, avocado salsa is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
