We had our annual Christmas Decorating Party at Cannoli Joe's last night. It was nice because we actually had very little decorating to do, because we had staff working on it all day long. They did a great job, I will post more pics soon. Since there wasn't much work to do we basically had a short meeting regarding Christmas season and proceeded to eat.
Bob and I came up with a Fish Taco dinner, I think mainly because everybody was pretty burnt out on Thanksgiving food ;)
Bob made some white rice and a sauce base for a slaw mix. I went to the store and bought some corn, sour cream, yogurt and green cabbage. Our actual menu was pretty simple but had good contrast and flavors.
We had:
Sauteed Corn - sauteed in olive oil with chopped onion, chopped garlic, salt and pepper.
White Rice
Fish Tacos - Breaded and Fried Tilapia Filets with spicy slaw(olive oil, lime juice, cabbage, jalapeno, cilantro, green onion)
Chipotle Cream Sauce, as a sauce for the tacos
Everyone liked everything, unfortunately we ran out of corn pretty quick, but we had plenty of rice, slaw, fish and sauce.
A number of people asked me about the chipotle cream sauce so here's the recipe.
It's super simple.
- 24 oz container of sour cream at room temperature, you could also substitute yogurt for a lower calorie sauce
- 7 oz can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- juice from 1 lime
- and finally salt to taste.
Voila, just like that a tasty taco sauce. It's very rich and pretty spicy so a little goes a long way.
enjoy :D
