Ingredients

Nacho Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tilapia filets
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun or blackening powder*
  • 6 ounces (about 4 big handfuls) Garden of Eatin’ Blue Corn Tortilla Chips
  • 4 ounces freshly-shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
  • rainbow mango slaw ingredients (see ingredients below)
  • optional toppings: crumbled cotija cheese or queso fresco extra chopped fresh cilantro

Rainbow Mango Slaw Ingredients:

  • 1 avocado peeled, pitted and diced
  • 1 jalapeno seeded and diced
  • 1 mango peeled, pitted and diced (about 3 cups)
  • half a red bell pepper core removed and diced
  • half a small red onion peeled and diced
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves loosely packed
  • juice and zest of one lime

Instructions

To Make The Nachos:

  • Preheat your broiler.
  • Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add tilapia and cook 3 minutes on each side, turning once, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.  Remove from heat and transfer the fish to a separate plate to cool.  Use a fork to flake the fish into bite-sized pieces.
  • While the fish is cooking, spread the chips out evenly on a large baking sheet.  Sprinkle evenly with the cheese.  Place the sheet in the oven under the broiler until the cheese is melted, about 1 minute.  (Watch the oven carefully so that the cheese doesn’t burn.)  Remove, then top the chips evenly with the mango slaw, bite-sized tilapia, and optional toppings.
  • Serve warm.

To Make The Mango Slaw:

  • Toss all ingredients together in a large bowl until combined.  Use immediately on the nachos.
