    Fish Tacos with Creamy Lime Guacamole and Cabbage Slaw

    Ingredients

    2 Hass avocados—halved, pitted and peeled
    1/4 cup low-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt
    1 small jalapeño, seeded and thinly sliced
    2 tablespoons minced red onion
    2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
    5 tablespoons fresh lime juice
    Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
    1 small head of napa cabbage, shredded (4 cups)
    2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for brushing
    2 pounds thick red snapper fillets with skin, cut crosswise into ten 2-inch-wide strips
    Ten 7-inch flour tortillas, warmed
    2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
    Hot sauce, for serving
    Lime wedges, for serving

    Directions

    Light a grill. In a medium bowl, mash the avocados, sour cream,

    jalapeño, red onion, cilantro and 3 tablespoons of the lime juice.

    Season the guacamole with salt and pepper and press a piece of plastic

    wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole. In a large bowl,

    toss the cabbage with the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and the remaining

    2 tablespoons of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.

    Brush the fish with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over moderately

    high heat until lightly charred and cooked through, about 10 minutes.

    Transfer the fish to a platter and pull off the skin.

    To assemble each taco, spread a dollop of guacamole on a tortilla.

    Top with a piece of fish, a few tomato slices and a large spoonful of the

    cabbage slaw. Serve with the hot sauce and lime wedges.

    Mediteranean Omelet

    Ingredients

    2 medium plum tomatoes
    2 ounce(s) feta cheese
    2 cup(s) (loosely packed) baby spinach leaves
    8 large eggs
    1/2 cup(s) water
    1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
    1/2 teaspoon(s) coarsely ground black pepper
    2 tablespoon(s) margarine or butter

    Directions

    Chop tomatoes. Crumble feta cheese. Thinly slice spinach leaves.

    Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Place 4 dinner plates in oven to warm.

    In medium bowl, place eggs, water, salt, and black pepper.

    With fork, beat 25 to 30 quick strokes to blend mixture without making it fluffy.

    (Overbeating toughens the proteins in the whites.)

    In  nonstick skillet, melt  margarine on medium.

    When margarine stops sizzling, pour or ladle  egg mixture into skillet.

    After egg mixture begins to set around edges, about 25 to 30 seconds,

    with heat-safe spatula, carefully push cooked egg from side of skillet toward center,

    so uncooked egg can reach bottom of hot skillet.

    Repeat 8 to 10 times around skillet, tilting as necessary, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.

    Cook until omelet is almost set but still creamy and moist on top.

    Place skillet handle facing you, and layer one-fourth of crumbled feta,

    spinach leaves, and chopped tomatoes over half of each omelet.

    With spatula, fold unfilled half over filling.

    Shake pan gently to loosen any egg or filling from edge,

    then slide omelet to edge of skillet. Holding skillet above warm plate,

    tip skillet so omelet slides onto plate. Serve with toast and a mixed greens salad

    with balsamic vinaigrette if you like.
