Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp. each: garlic salt, lemon pepper seasoning, chili powder
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1lb. Alaskan Halibut Filets
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 can (18-19oz.) green salsa (enchilada or tomatillo)
- 1 can (2oz.) diced green chiles (mild of hot, to taste)
- 8 (7-8 inch) corn or flour tortillas
- 8oz. shredded Pepper-Jack or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 can (15oz.) seasoned black beans, drained
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Directions
- Blend garlic saly, lemon pepper, chili powder, and cumin. Sprinkle on all sides of Halibut to season.
- Cook the Halibut in olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, just until fish is opaque throughout. Cool slightly, then break Halibut into chunks.
- Preheat oven to 400 F (or 375, if using a glass baking dish).
- Pour and spread 3/4 cup of the green salsa in the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan.
- Heat a large sauce pan to medium-high, and pour in remaining green sauce and chiles. Cook for 2-3 minutes until hot.
- One by one, dip the tortillas in the sauce and place on plate.
- Fill each with 1/8th of the Halibut chunks and about 1/4 cup of beans. Sprinkle on 1 tablespoon of cheese, and roll up.
- Place the enchiladas next to each other in the baking dish. Pour remaining sauce over them, and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Bake 15-20 minutes, until sauce is bubbling and enchiladas are heated through. Top with cilantro, and serve.
