grilled fish – tortilla bowl dinner
(1 rating)
An entire meal in a bowl...a bowl that you can eat. I'm not altogether sure how long the prep time would be for one person - we had four people working on different aspects of the dish. It looks like a lot of steps, but just assemble all the components and it comes together rather easily. And remember that most of it can be done in steps and in advance of serving time.

How To Make grilled fish – tortilla bowl dinner
-
1TORTILLA BOWLS Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Have 2-4 oven safe bowls ready and place them upside down on a baking sheet. If you only have 2 oven safe bowls, you will need to do this in batches. Spray each tortilla on one side with the nonstick spray. Sprinkle with salt, and place them sprayed side down on the upside down bowls. Press to form around the bowl slightly. They won't exactly stick, but they will start to take shape. Place the tortillas in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until brown and crispy. Remove from heat, and remove the tortillas carefully from the bowls. Set aside, and repeat if needed.

Once marinated, preheat grill to medium high heat. Add the fish to the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
