Sangrita Fish Tostadas

Had a hankering for some seafood last night so we decided to try some fish tostadas with a Sangrita sauce. I ususally do this with red snapper but snapper didn't look so great so I subbed cod. Here we go:

Got a couple of cod fillets and hit them with garlic olive oil and a Mexican seasoning blend.

Onto the smoker @225 for about 40 minutes

About halfway through basted with Sangrita sauce (Blend of Tomato juice, Orange juice, lime juice, grenadine, and hot sauce. Usually used as a tequila chaser)

Flaked the fish in a bowl and removed any bones still hanging around

Added fresh Cilantro, Green onion, lime juice, and Jalapeno to the fish mix

Tostada time, start with a layer of black beans, add the fish mixture and sangrita sauce, sprinkle a little jack cheese, top it off with fresh sliced avocado and tomato.

Yeah boy! And they were both big hits too. :) (of course everyone knew the alcohol is all cooked off). This was my first time doing a Jack Daniels pulled pork and it definitely will be going on my list of favorites. The JD really flavors it well.

well, right to the point.

3th place>>>Deb. chicken cacciatore looked great. liked that you used the same herds on the chicken & veges. loved that you put it on spaghetti. very different.

2nd place>>>TentHunter. triple jack daniels pulled pork was a novel concept. liked that you paired it with the jack daniels beans (my sons name is JD, it was a phase i was going thru). i wanted one of those sandwiches.

1st place>>>only one choice here. Carter. sangrita fish tostadas. oh my gosh. i wanted those so bad. very light, fresh and very appetizing. i liked all the components on them. out of the park, dude. 2 thumbs up garth....:cool:
