Good, Solid Recipe

Serve with baked chips and tropical fruit salad from the deli for a speedy supper.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 fajita)

Ingredients

  • 1  pound  catfish fillets, cut into 8 strips
  • 2  teaspoons  fajita seasoning
  • 2  teaspoons  olive oil
  • 1  cup  sliced red bell pepper
  • 1  cup  sliced green bell pepper
  • 1  cup  sliced onion
  • 1  tablespoon  chopped pickled jalapeño peppers
  • 1  teaspoon  bottled minced garlic
  • 1/2  cup  chopped plum tomato (about 2)
  • 1  tablespoon  low-sodium soy sauce
  • 4  (8-inch) fat-free flour tortillas
  • 1/2  cup  bottled pico de gallo

Preparation

Sprinkle both sides of fish evenly with fajita seasoning. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish to pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Remove fish from pan. Add bell peppers and next 3 ingredients (through garlic) to pan; cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add tomato; cook for 2 minutes. Stir in soy sauce; cook 1 minute. Add the fish; cook 1 minute or until thoroughly heated. Remove from heat.

Warm tortillas according to package directions. Spoon about 1 cup fish mixture down center of each tortilla; top each serving with 2 tablespoons pico de gallo. Serve immediately.

My husband loved these, and he's often picky with fish. The veggies come out flavorful and tender-crisp. Great weeknight dinner.01/31/07

I am a very open-minded eater and love trying new recipes. That being said, these fajitas are disgusting. I threw away the leftovers, and I NEVER throw out leftovers. Keep searching; you'll find something better.01/15/07
