BAJA FISH SOFT TACOS

Steps:

• In small bowl, stir Baja Sauce Seasoning (from dinner kit), mayonnaise and water until well blended; set aside.
• Empty Crusted-Fish Seasoning (from dinner kit) into shallow dish or bowl. Cut fish fillets into 10 equal pieces. If fish is dry, moisten with wet paper towel. Place fish pieces on seasoning, turning to coat very lightly on both sides.
• In 10- or 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Carefully add fish pieces to hot oil. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown on bottom. Reduce heat to medium. Turn fish; cook 2 to 3 minutes longer or until golden brown and fish flakes easily with fork (145°F); thicker fish pieces may require a longer cook time.
• Remove Tortillas (from dinner kit) from bag. To heat in microwave, place stack of tortillas on microwavable plate. Cover with microwavable waxed paper. Microwave on High 45 to 60 seconds or until warm. (To heat in oven, wrap tortillas in foil; place on cookie sheet. Bake at 325°F about 10 minutes or until warm.)
• Place fish on tortillas. Top with Baja Sauce, desired toppings and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.

BAJA SAUCE

Steps:

• Place bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, and onion in the bowl of a food processor; puree until smooth. Stir together 4 teaspoons of this puree with the mayonnaise, and vinegar in a small bowl. Season with pepper, garlic powder, and cumin. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow flavors to develop.
