Fish Enchiladas

There is an amazing restaurant "Verde" in Kauai that serves up delicious fish enchiladas and refreshing margaritas, a perfect treat for some outdoor spring dining - here is my version of those enchiladas 

What you need:
For the Enchiladas
Tortillas (I used taco sized corn tortillas)
2 cans enchilada sauce - 1 red, 1 green
Mozzarella Cheese

For the fried fish
Talapia 
Flour
1 Egg
Bread crumbs
Paprika
Salt 
Oil

First we are going to fry up the talapia (this is my go-to for fish tacos too)

1) Pour 1/2 cup of oil into a pan on medium heat
2) Lightly cover both sides of the fish with flour
3) Beat the egg and brush both sides of the fish with the egg (so the breadcrumbs will stick)
4) Sprinkle bread crumbs over both sides of fish, then repeat with salt and paprika.  Any bread crumbs work, I used the ones below but typically use panko bread crumbs

5) Fry the fish until brown on both sides ~5 minutes per side

Now we are going to assemble the enchiladas.  (I used 1 large piece of fish for each enchilada stack and put each enchilada stack in an 8 in pie pan.)   For the enchiladas I like to alternate the tortilla layers - 1 fish layer, followed by 1 cheese layer, another fish layer then one last cheese layer.  Healthy!
6)  Place 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce in the bottom of the pan, add a tortilla

7) Add 1/2 of the talapia, gently broken into chunks and cover with cheese

8) Pour 1/4 cup of green enchilada sauce over the stack

9) Add another tortilla, layered with cheese and red sauce
10) Add another tortilla, layer with the remaining fish, sprinkle with cheese and top with enchilada sauce
11) Place the top tortilla, sprinkle with cheese and pour red and green sauces over the top 

12) Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees for roughly 30 minutes. 

I served the fish enchiladas with rice and it was a hit! 

Good catch eh,
