Servings: 0
Ingredients
- 4-5 fillets of Alaska pollock frozen, approximately 1.5-2 pounds
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1 cup chopped red pepper about one large red pepper
- 1 cup chopped onion about one medium onion
- 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend
- 1 16-ounce can refried beans
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 cup pico de gallo optional, adjust to taste
- 2 cups shredded white cabbage
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt + pepper to taste
- 16-20 street taco tortillas
Instructions
- For the Instant Pot, place the fillets in the Instant Pot and add a cup of water and 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil. Closed the lid of the place, made sure the vent was closed and hit the meat option for 7 minutes.
- After the timer went off on the Instant Pot, vent and wait for the steam to come out so the Instant Pot lid could unlock.
- Once done, release the steam, unlock the lid, and check that the fish is cooked (it should flake easily). Season the fish with 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and Old Bay seasoning to taste. Cut or shred the fish into small pieces. {Note: I didn't have to do a lot of cutting since the fish was practically falling apart}.
- Warm 16-20 street taco tortillas in a skillet or over an open flame until pliable.
- Spread a layer of refried beans (about 2 tablespoons per tortilla) onto each tortilla.
- Top with the cooked fish, 2 cups of shredded white cabbage, 1 cup of chopped red pepper, 1 cup of chopped onion, 1/2 cup of chopped green onions, 1 cup of shredded cheese, 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro, and 1 cup of pico de gallo (if using
- Serve.
Notes
You can either follow the directions on the back of the Alaska pollock for cooking it or use the Instant Pot. Either way, your fish will be cooked within 15-20 minutes (baked in the oven on 400).
