CHEW THE RIGHT THING
BITE IT!
HG's San Diego Baja-Style Fish Tacos
California Dreamin'
The beach, the breeze, the crunch of fresh tacos... Check out this crazy-
delicious recipe, as seen on the pages of Hungry Girl 200 Under 200!
Ingredients:
1/3 cup fat-free mayonnaise
2 tbsp. fat-free sour cream
2 tbsp. chopped sweet or yellow onion
1/2 tsp. lime juice
Dash salt, or more to taste
Dash cayenne pepper
1 cup thinly sliced green cabbage
1 tbsp. seasoned rice vinegar
1/2 cup Fiber One bran cereal (original)
1/4 tsp. garlic salt, or more to taste
1/8 tsp. onion powder, or more to taste
1/8 tsp. garlic powder, or more to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
8 oz. raw cod, cut evenly into 4 strips
4 small white corn tortillas
Optional: chopped cilantro, lime wedges, salsa
Directions:
Spray the rack of either a broiler pan or toaster oven with nonstick spray,
and line the bottom of the broiler pan/toaster oven with aluminum foil.
Preheat oven/toaster oven to 450 degrees.
To make the sauce, combine mayo, sour cream, onion, lime juice, salt, and
cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Mix well and then refrigerate until ready to
assemble tacos. In another small bowl, toss cabbage with vinegar until lightly
coated. Refrigerate as well.
In a blender or food processor, grind Fiber One cereal to a breadcrumb-like
consistency. Place crumbs in a medium bowl. Mix in garlic salt, onion powder,
and garlic powder. Add as much salt, black pepper, and additional
seasonings as you like.
Place egg substitute in another medium bowl. One by one, coat fish strips in
egg substitute, give them a shake to remove excess egg substitute, then
coat with breadcrumb mixture.
Spray the tops of the breaded fish strips with a light mist of nonstick spray.
Place them on the rack of the broiler pan/toaster oven. If using the broiler
pan, place it in the oven. Cook for 12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked
through and flaky and the tops are browned and crispy.
Warm tortillas in the microwave for about 10 seconds. Set one fish strip in
the middle of each tortilla. Top each piece of fish with one-fourth of the
cabbage followed by one-fourth of the sauce. Serve with cilantro, lime
wedges, and/or salsa, if you like. Chew!

FIGHT IT!
Fried Fish Taco, Average
Kinda Fishy...
A little corn tortilla stuffed with fish and veggies should be a light and
delicious treat. But NO. Some people just HAVE to go nuts and batter that
fish and deep-fry the heck out of it. And THEN they top it with creamy sauce
(and sometimes, cheese), bringing that little taco to crazy levels of fattitude.
The worst ones out there? On The Border's Dos XX Fish Tacos platter, which
features beer-battered, cheesed-up, and cream-sauce-smothered tacos. The
calorie tag for the whole dish (3 tacos with rice) is 2,350 calories and 152g
fat (POINTS® value 59*). AHHHHHH!!!! 152 GRAMS OF FAT?!?! But even if
you're going a la carte at the average taco eatery, you're looking at double-
digit fat grams for one single taco, and you'll be headed for trouble if you
start crunching on two or three! Make our version instead, and Baja it up,
baby!!!
