Contents of your meal kit

fish fillets
cilantro vinaigrette base
cabbage
avocado
tortillas
corn
tomato
onion & cilantro mix
feta
hot sauce

Cookware needed: outdoor grill (see notes), salad bowl, (2) mixing bowls, foil

Finishing steps:

  1. Preheat oven to 350. Preheat grill to med-high.
  2. Pour HALF of the vinaigrette base into the bottom of a salad bowl and add an equal amount of olive oil. Whisk or mix with a fork to combine. Add the cabbage, season with salt & pepper, toss and set aside.
  3. Slice avocado lengthwise, remove pit, and scoop flesh into a mixing bowl. Drizzle with remaining cilantro vinaigrette base, sprinkle with salt & pepper, and mix with a fork to desired texture. Set aside.
  4. Rub tortillas with a little olive oil. Place directly on rack in oven, bake 10-15 minutes or until crisp.
  5. Rub corn and fish with a little oil and season with salt & pepper. Grill corn 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, or until lightly charred. At the same time, place fish on a sheet of foil and grill until cooked through (see notes). Closing the lid will speed up the cooking process, just check frequently to avoid flare-ups.
  6. Once corn is cool enough to handle, slice the kernels off the cob and place in a bowl. Cut the tomato into small pieces and add to bowl along with onion & cilantro mix. Stir to combine and season with salt & pepper to taste.
  7. Everyone can assemble their own tostadas in whatever way they like. We started with the tostada shell and piled on cabbage slaw, guacamole and fish. We finished each with a spoonful of corn salsa, some crumbled feta and a drizzle of hot sauce.

Notes:

  • A grill pan, skillet, or your oven’s broiler can be used instead of an outdoor grill.  Cooking times may vary.
  • If fish filets have skin on them, cook skin-side down. When you remove the fish, slide spatula between fish and skin. The skin should stick to the foil.
