 Hey, you guys so tonight what a surprise you're making tacos. Yeah, I know I love tacos. I eat tacos weekly So you guys have seen me make the fish tacos in my vlog But I've never really shown you how I make it and tonight I'm going to be doing blackened catfish tacos Okay, so let's get started with the ingredients because we have a lot going on here We have salt onion powder garlic powder chili powder coolman oregano Cinnamon, I know cinnamon is a spicy y'all. It's it's actually a heat And it's often using a lot of Mexican dishes so a little bit of cinnamon some black pepper I do have some blackened seasoning over here in the corner that I'm going to take out I have some chipotle and chipotle pepper sauce. I have some sour cream salsa some jalapenos using my condiments Radishes are also going to be part of the condiments now I'm going to be making a corn salsa now. I picked up a can of roasted corn salsa I could only find this at Walmart I made some tacos a couple of days ago black bean and corn tacos and I reserved half the can for some corn salsa Have some cabbage back here Tri-colored cabbage and then as far as veggies. I have tomatoes excuse the background three aroma tomatoes and cilantro lime jalapeno yellow onion typically we would use purple onion red onion yellow onion though I have some corn tortillas and two huge filets of catfish I'm going to find my blackened seasoning and I'm going to be blackening my catfish and the castor and skillet with some Olive oil I'm going to blacken this whole and then cut it up for the actual tacos. Okay? Are you guys so I'm going to put some cabbage here in the bowl and what I'm going to do is I mean you could do this several ways you could Several ways you could marinate your fish in the chipotle You could combine the chipotle with the sour cream which I've done before or you could do what I'm going to do tonight Because I don't want to do all that I'm going to soak some of the chipotle and the sour cream and put it directly into my slaw here One thing I will say if you decide to marinate your Fish don't do it too long Because what you want to do is add some cilantro and lime But you don't want to marinate it too long because the acidic the acid and the lime is going to break down that fish You don't want it falling apart catfish is a very sturdy fish, but still you don't want to follow the part Okay, now I really want some of the juice, but if some I really want the juice But if some of the peppers come out, that's okay. You know, I think these are pieces They take a squirt of half a lime here To help it and move around a little bit too loud And some more juice All right, so next up. I'm going to be doing the corn salsa now I'm going to start with the onion first. Let me wash off my board Oh, I like to start with the onion and go ahead and get that out of the way We don't like a lot of And it's just for my husband and I so This is going to be I Mean I've all in it looks about half a cup Chopped onion may not even be that I Yeah, I have my nails back The good thing about having nails is they kind of it kind of is a barrier from actually cutting your fingers But I also haven't had them in a while so Just like that my onions are done. Okay I'm going with my garlic. I recently started buying chopped garlic a lifesaver. Yeah, I normally don't I like chopping up my food Getting on how spicy you like your food. We can handle spice three slices of fresh Hello, Pino about a can of roasted corn you can use regular frozen corn and fresh corn is even better I love this roasted corn again This is canned roasted corn that I can only find at Walmart can But I've seen roasted corn at Whole Foods I'm not even gonna add all that you guys so I have tomatoes to add I've seen this corn in the frozen section at Whole Foods at Trader Joe's But canned I'm only found it at Walmart. Alright, so tomatoes can tend to be a little runny You don't want this salsa too liquidy. So what you're gonna have to do is spoon out the middle I know y'all I have a spoon here And what you want is Just this to slice up and I'll do one for you real quick I'm not done recording baby. And that's what you want the tomato to roughly look like Alright, so my condiments have all been laid out and made I put up some more tomatoes and radishes I have some cilantro here a tip While you're cooking fix your family some snacks girl that way you can look I thoroughly enjoy cooking So I want to take my time. I don't need no one in my kitchen rubbing a belly looking at my pots and pans Wondering the food's gonna be done. Oh, hell if you don't want to do that You know just throw them a bag of chips so that you could take your time when cooking All right, y'all, so let me touch it won't go ahead and season up my catfish Now the catfish I'm gonna add a little bit of cumin a little bit of cinnamon Some salt a little bit of sea salt and I found my blackening seasoning There's blackening season there's Creole seasoning all it is is Kanye and pepper paprika black pepper onion powder garlic powder But because I'm greedy greedy. I like to add that and then add some more and then I decided not to use the oregano Okay, and I'm gonna do a little bit of chili powder. Those are all my seasonings I'm not going to use as much of all the other seasonings because again blackening seasonings tend to have all of these but I Like my food barely season now. I'm getting ready to season up my fish Another word of advice when you're dealing with raw meat. I'm very very picky when it comes to not pick you I'm very careful try to be very careful when they do when I'm dealing with raw meat You want to have one wet hand one dry hand? What does that mean girl one wet hand? It's when you want to touch the food one dry hand as we want to touch anything dry Basically a meat hand none meat hand especially when you're breading food if you're frying food One wet hand one dry hand now. I'm not going to touch this fish at all I'm going to use my tongs to flip it over. Okay, so just a little bit of advice I'm going to start off with the blackening seasoning because I want to see typically when you are using if you're gonna blacken fish And I'm pretty sure most you I know this but now most of my subscribers are from the south You want to Cover the food of the meat excuse me with the blackening seasoning because I have so many I'm not gonna start off with it. I'm a you know, I'm gonna layer on the seasonings. That's my garlic powder Onion powder I'm gonna do a little bit of chili powder. That's a little bit a little bit of Cinnamon like literally a little bit. I'm gonna do any cumin actually So I'm gonna add just a little bit of salt and I'm not gonna even I'm not adding any on the other side. Okay Okay, so I'm flipping it over with these tongs Yes, ma'am What what did I say? You you think all right, you might that's exactly what I said Two tablespoons of olive oil in the cast iron skillet filets going in on medium-high heat Depending on the thickness of your fillets would depend on how quick they were cooked As you can see I have some tortillas and a bag burner there Do not warm it up in the microwave. It makes a big difference. So now I am assembling my tacos Two fillets could feed three feet people, but my husband is greedy. So if that two of us So right now I'm just I'm dividing up the fillets. I kept the tortillas warm by placing them in some Wallpaper just breaking up the meat and assembly my tacos. Y'all this was so good putting on the slaw I left the slaw in the corn and the fridge Until the fish was done and it allowed everything to basically come together and marinate Putting on the corn salsa there and here are my finished tacos.
