Here is one of my favorite recipe for this classic southwestern dish that I used to eat once a week while I was living in Las Vegas at a restaurant called Z Tejas House. This one is perfect for drinking with nice cold beer on a hot summer day outside and in fact if you add some fresh tortillas and some coleslaw you can make a great fish taco.
