So, I have to admit that I am not the biggest fan of wheat tortillas. Personally, I'd rather just eat the inside of whatever is in that wheat tortilla; however, I keep finding new uses for them! I often use corn tortillas (the soft ones--NOT fried), and I've toasted them in the oven. Well, the other night, my husband wanted to use some leftover grilled fish we had from Father's Day. What he wanted was fish tacos. So, naturally, I decided to trick him and make it healtheir--ha! I won! I took those somewhat rubbery wheat tortillas and toasted some flat in the oven, and I draped others over the rack so that it created a "taco" shape.
Check out the recipe below for a delicious taco/tostada option!
Fish Tostada (or Taco if you prefer):
Wheat Tortillas (however many you need)
Leftover grilled fish (if you don't have any, any grilled or baked fish will do. Just season it with a little salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon)
Sliced TomatoesReduced Fat Shredder Cheddar
Fresh Cilantro
Salsa Verde
And...whatever other FRESH vegetables you'd like to add!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
If your fish is left over, like mine was, you'll want to heat it up in the oven, either on a baking pan or in some foil. (If you need to cook your fish, then you'll need to do that ahead of time. Fish is quite easy to bake, so just you can put your fish in a baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, and whatever spices you like. It's ready when the fish becomes white and flaky.) Now, while you're heating up your left over fish like me, put the wheat tortillas in the oven. This will only take 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how crispy you like them. (If you want a tostada, lay them flat. If you want a taco, drape them over the rack to create your taco shape. )Once the fish is warm and the tortillas are toasty, take both out and let cool for just a minute. Then, add all of your toppings, and enjoy! (If you wnat the cheese to melt, just stick it back in the oven for another minute). Try drizzling the salsa verde all over. It really pairs well with fish!
