Fish Tacos with Homemade Flour Tortillas

We're still munching on the fish that Aubrey and my dad caught a couple of weeks ago. Last night we ate with Aubrey's parents, and they had leftover black beans and pico de gallo, and I knew exactly what I wanted to make for supper tonight. These tacos were absolutely amazing! They were actually easy to pick up and eat like a regular taco even though it looks packed full of stuff. I barely even had to use a fork to pick up the droppings.


Tortillas
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 tsp vegetable oil, plus more for frying
3/4 cup hot milk

In a stand mixer, mix up the flour, baking powder, salt, and vegetable oil
Add in the hot milk and mix till the dough pulls together, then let it knead in the mixer for another 4-5 minutes.
When it’s nice and smooth, divide the dough into 12 pieces, about 2 ounces each.
Pat them into little discs, then roll out as thin as possible.
Fry on a very hot pan, about 30 seconds each side.


Fish

Sprinkle salt and pepper on the fish. Pan sear the fish in a hot pan coated with olive oil until cooked through and flaky. Transfer to a plate and shred into pieces.





Assemble the Taco with:
homemade tortillas
cooked fish
black beans
shredded cheese
pico de gallo
cilantro
