Farm-raised catfish have a clean flavor, unlike wild catfish which can sometimes taste muddy . Heat the tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds to soften. You can also use a good-quality store-bought salsa for even quicker prep time. -- Virginia Willis, for the Journal-Constitution
Hands on time: 15 minutes Total time: 25 minutes Serves: 4
Ingredients:
-
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 avocado, peeled and diced
Juice of 2 limes, divided
2 green onions, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced, divided
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound catfish fillets, cut into 1-inch strips
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
4 (6-inch) soft corn tortillas, heated

Preheat broiler.
In a bowl, combine tomatoes, avocado, juice of 1 lime, green onions, cilantro and half the jalapeño. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
