I'm happy to be here today with you Mama
0:05
because we're doing two things that I
0:06
really really like you know I love fish
0:09
I know you're a big fish eater and I
0:10
love to grill and you love to grill and
0:12
it's beautiful out that manly thing you
0:14
know the fire and
0:16
the maybe a nice c cooca yeah yes well
0:19
put me to work tell me what you want me
0:21
to do this recipe is fish fajitas and
0:24
we're going beautiful the flower
0:26
tortillas exactly and you already
0:28
mentioned the Tas we got these these are
0:30
a neat neat little thing it almost
0:32
tastes like a like a fried green tomato
0:34
when you pull them off the grill I just
0:35
put them on there long enough to score
0:36
them give them a little bit of color
0:37
they have a real Smoky flavor cuz I tell
0:40
you what I snuck one a few minutes ago
0:43
they're great and these taste real real
0:44
Smoky and they come in almost like a
0:47
parchment paper y'all and you just peel
0:50
that paper away look how beautiful and
0:52
this is where the Verde comes in we're
0:53
making a sauce of ver day for these fish
0:55
to teas so if you can get started with
0:57
this none of these ingredients are
0:59
strange to a salsa you're going to be
1:01
using a little bit of salt little bit of
1:03
sugar a little bit of pepper you're
1:04
going to have cilantro you're going to
1:06
have jalapeno peppers and of course
1:07
you're going to have the Tas and a
1:09
little bit of onion okay I'm putting a
1:11
little salt I'm just going to chop your
1:12
onions and then I'm going to put the
1:13
fish on okay so there's a a little fresh
1:16
ground pepper I hid our cilantro under
1:19
here that because it was blowing away on
1:22
me so I'm just going to grab that every
1:24
bit of that cilantro Bobby all of it go
1:26
ahead and put it in there okay cuz we
1:28
like that flavor in our salsa your
1:30
onions are chopped the grill is on and
1:33
ready and what I'm going to do y'all to
1:35
get the grill started is I'm going to
1:36
just dip this towel very very lightly
1:39
into some oil I don't want to saturate
1:40
it cuz I don't want a big fire here but
1:42
I'm going to make sure that my grill
1:45
isn't sticky when I put the fish on
1:47
because the worst thing that you can do
1:48
with fish is have it stick all over the
1:49
grill now I'm adding a tablespoon of
1:51
lime juice son and um this is a seated
1:55
jalapeno pepper that you've got right
1:58
and I'm going to put the whole in it is
2:00
and it's going to give it that good
2:02
jalapeno flavor but it's not going to be
2:03
so hot because you know where the heat
2:05
is we've seeded it and we've taken the
2:07
vein out of it and I'm going to cut this
2:09
fish into if you see I got about inch
2:12
thick strips here on this fish this is
2:13
perfect for a fajita
2:19
size and you want me to put this whole
2:22
onion in here I do every bit of it
2:24
that's about a half of a white onion
2:25
there okay and I'm going to lightly
2:27
season this fish with a little bit of
2:29
sea salt salt and a little bit of pepper
2:31
and that's really going to be it I might
2:33
squeeze a little bit of lime on it I'm
2:35
telling you you eat so much fish I just
2:39
really like it it really appeals to me
2:40
all right son how about those avocados
2:42
avocado no what we're going to do with
2:44
the avocados is we're going to we're
2:45
going to peel them and we're going to
2:46
just cut them into chunks it's not going
2:48
to go into the salsa we're just going to
2:49
use chunks of of avocado right on top of
2:51
the fish all right so you want me to
2:53
just pulse it get that sucker started
2:56
you want this kind of puree or just Chun
3:00
make it kind of chunky like a sa kind of
3:02
chunky okay oh look how beautiful that
3:05
looks oh that
3:08
cilantro you know cilantro is one of
3:10
those herbs that had to grow on me
3:14
excuse
3:15
me you know what me too I the only time
3:19
I really care for it is in a salsa cuz
3:21
it's just got one of those it's a really
3:23
distinct flavor that you either like it
3:25
or you don't like it or you don't like
3:26
it all right now I'm going to uh just go
3:30
ahead and slice our avocado can I use a
3:32
little bit of your lme yes I'm going to
3:34
need some more too because I'm just
3:36
going to put just a little bit on my
3:37
fish here now this is just
3:41
for like garnish to go on top of our
3:45
exactly you going to get it out of that
3:46
peel and you going to cut it into little
3:48
cubes and we're just going to drop it
3:50
right on top of our tortillas as sort of
3:52
a Finishing Touch uh hand me that spoon
3:54
out of your Tomatoes down there please
3:57
right there
4:00
yeah all right you asked me about the
4:02
consistency of the salsa you're not
4:03
finished you realize that right oh no
4:05
the Tomas are going in there oh okay so
4:07
that's going to give us a little liquid
4:08
and it's going to add a little bit more
4:09
consistency to your SAA I'm going to go
4:11
ahead and put the fish on okay okie do
4:13
well I'm just going to get these
4:16
avocados
4:19
ready oh I love avocados I do too and I
4:23
just all right every one of these son
4:25
yes ma'am all of
4:27
[Music]
4:28
them so this is going to be a nice
4:32
tart salsa it is you know how most of
4:35
your Salsas are just I mean they're
4:37
tomato based most of your sauces are
4:39
just like red and this is and this is
4:41
going to have a really nice green color
4:43
to it you know what I think and a little
4:45
bit different flavor too yeah I think
4:48
that you can buy this in the grocery
4:53
store you know already made up but how
4:56
nice is this that it's so easy we're
4:59
making it scratch you don't have to buy
5:01
that with little or no
5:04
problem oh look look Bobby SAA looks oh
5:08
yeah that's perfect oh yeah that's
5:10
perfect all right the Sal the salsa is
5:14
ready taste it give it a little bit of a
5:16
see what okay cuz I may need to add some
5:18
more salt to
5:22
it good oh
5:25
nice Bobby I know it's like all the
5:28
difference in the world you know in in a
5:31
homemade versus no question the fish is
5:34
on the grill and that's only going to
5:35
take a few minutes maybe four to five
5:36
minutes for these strips of fish the
5:38
sauce is ready check this out mom I'm
5:40
going to take the to your shell so them
5:41
up on the top rack just to get them warm
5:44
I got the fish going it all looks really
5:45
really good I'm going to keep a good eye
5:47
on it fabulous just a couple of minutes
5:49
on that and I got us some plates ready
5:51
Bobby I cannot hardly wait to taste all
5:55
right and this salsa verde just looks
5:59
delici did I say it salsa ver that's
6:03
perfect I probably didn't say it right
6:06
but you know what I know how to eat it
6:08
everything you say is right look at that
6:11
looks beautiful the shells are nice and
6:13
warm yeah you don't want to overheat
6:15
those y'all because they'll get crisp on
6:17
you and you can't fold them so put one
6:20
together you want to I am so wanting to
6:22
here's our shell there's your plate and
6:24

6:25
plate how you want to start I don't know

6:34
two pieces of fish you think so and you
6:38
know you can kind of put anything you
6:40
want to on this Bobby couldn't you we
6:42
