Fish tacos with spicy black beans

What an easy and tasty meal for any weeknight! We used tilapia and John cooked it simply with some seasoning and spices on our cooktop in a pan with a little olive oil. You could use any fish you enjoy or even shrimp. Keep it simple like we did or maybe use some mayo or mustard and add panko breadcrumbs for some crunch.

John heated the tortillas directly over the flame on our stove but you can also microwave or heat them up in the oven.

For my part I made the spicy beans. I used a can of rinsed black beans and a can of Rotel original spicy tomatoes. I heated these together in a pot with some cumin, chipotle powder, and salt.

All that is left to do is assemble the dish. Our tacos had toppings of green onions, shredded cabbage, salsa verde, and lime. I spooned the beans into a separate container and topped them with sliced green onions as well. A handful of tortilla chips might have been a nice side but we are trying to keep our dinners healthy while we shed the extra pounds from our cruise.
