This Beer Battered Fish Tostadas Recipe, featuring Gorton’s Beer Battered Fish Fillets, is a definite keeper for those busy weeknight meals.

Happy New Year, friends! I’m coming to you in the new year with a recipe that fits into my New Years Resolutions perfectly. It’s one of my goals in 2019 to eat more meals at home. We do a decent job of this most of the time, but when we fall off the wagon, we fall hard. Life is busy for all of us. Sometimes I forget that creating a delicious meal at home doesn’t have to take a lot of time.

For this Beer Battered Fish Tostadas recipe, I partnered with Gorton’s Seafood. Gorton’s Seafood products are a staple in our house and something I turn to often when I need a tasty meal, quick. I love that I can bake and serve the fish fillets as they are with a little tartar sauce. A simple fish and chips meal is a family favorite. If I want something a little more involved, I will dress the fish fillets up into something like this tostada recipe. In addition, the fillets are so easy to bake, my kids can help out by making them if I’m tied up with work and need a little help.

Shortcuts for Beer Battered Fish Tostadas

Let’s chat about how easy it is to make this fish recipe at home. Using Gorton’s Beer Battered Fish Fillets as the seafood base is the key to simplicity. Cooking the fish fillets on a baking sheet until they are deep golden brown is the most complicated step. Thank you, Gorton’s, for making dinner so easy!

I chose to make my own tostada shells by lightly frying flour tortillas in hot oil over medium high heat. Doing this for just a few seconds on each side results in flavorful, crispy tostada shells. If cooking with oil makes you nervous, or you want another shortcut, you can always buy pre cooked tostada shells. I just recommend warming the shells before serving for best results.

One other “shortcut” I used was purchasing pre-made pico de gallo. You can always use your own homemade version of pico de gallo with fresh ingredients. However, supermarket deli’s often have a great substitute when in a pinch. As much as I love homemade pico, grabbing a container from the market definitely saves a lot of time.

What I Love About This Recipe

I absolutely love this Beer Battered Fish Tostadas recipe for a number of reasons. First of all, it’s incredibly simple. We’ve already talked about the simple shortcuts you can use to make these tostadas. The shortcuts make this an accessible recipe for any night of the week.

The flaky, beer battered fish fillets combined with the sautéed vegetables is such a flavorful combination. Plus check out how beautiful those colors are! Purple cabbage, red bell peppers and pico de gallo give this recipe a color boost these dull winter months need.

Topping the tostadas with Cojita or Monterrey Jack cheese makes me feel like we’ve grabbed the best fish tostadas from a niche taco truck. I love eating restaurant style meals at home.

Give this Beer Battered Fish Tostadas recipe a try if you have a goal of eating more meals at home. Full of flavor and quick to make, you’ll wish all of your resolutions were this easy to achieve!

Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 8 Gorton's Beer Battered Fish Fillets baked according to package directions
  • 4 8-inch flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1/2 small purple cabbage shredded

  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/3 cup Cojita cheese or shredded Monterrey Jack cheese

  • While fish is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Once oil is heated, using tongs, gently add tortillas, one at a time. Cook in oil for 15 seconds on each side until light brown. Remove from skillet and place in between 2 paper towels. Keep warm.
  • In the same skillet, add the chopped bell pepper and cook until tender. Add purple cabbage and pico de gallo, cooking for about 3 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. 
  • To assemble the tostadas: Place one tortilla on a plate. Top with 2 cooked Gorton's Beer Battered Fish Fillets. Add a generous spoonful of cooked vegetables and top with cheese. Sprinkle with a pinch of Kosher salt, if desired. Repeat for each tortilla and serve hot.

New ink inspired by a quote in my friend @andiemmitchell amazing memoir “It Was Me All Along”. 

I tend to be an all or nothing person and look at long term and get overwhelmed instead of just taking things one day at a time. I’ve said her quote to myself multiple times a day for years. Now I’ll have a permanent reminder. 

The full quote: “Can you do it today? Can you make it through today without bingeing? Just today, and tomorrow we’ll reconsider?”

I need to go back and get a couple missed spots filled in but I love it. Thanks Rob at @irezumitattookc 🎉

Here’s a fun fact I heard on the radio several years ago…October 5th is the most popular day to be born (9 months prior is New Years Eve-ish). 🎉 

Happy birthday to all my many many birthday twins out there! It’s the big 4-8 for me…although this past year as a Covid long hauler I feel like I’ve aged 20 years in the past 1. But things are looking up! I’m excited for the next 365 days of my life. I’m blessed and so thankful to still be here, chugging along.

This picture is from last week when @kellykdoyle and I were visiting colleges in Colorado. If I have any followers with ties to @coloradostateuniversity or @cuboulder I’d love to chat!

I love being a parent of teens...but I miss the days of parenting kids who loved going to school, who didn't struggle with major anxiety, who loved their bodies, and were confident about how they looked. I miss pre-covid days where lunch wasn't distanced, kids had the opportunity to connect and socialize at school, where mask-wearing wasn't even a topic, let alone one that divides. 

The past 2 years have changed my kids. They have gained so many positive things, but they've also gained a new kind of anxiety that wasn't there before. And I hate it for them. They've seen first hand how long haul covid has changed our family. They've seen the selfishness of others in ways they haven't seen before. They've had to grow up faster, worry about things they shouldn't have to worry about, and learn the hard way how this world can really be. And it hurts my heart for them. 

I have a new senior, sophomore and 6th grader here at home. Missing my sophomore in college a ton. I hope the world is kind to them and they are kind to the world. I want nothing more than for them to be happy and to be surrounded by good people who love and accept them for who they are and who also push them to live a full, rich and happy life. I pray every day for them - and for your kids...and pray that we are all raising a generation of empathetic and kind changemakers.

These two small business owners had a successful launch day for their new clothing and accessory brand, @impatient.us I’m so proud of my daughter @kellykdoyle & daughter from another mother, @kyleemdunn for making the time and financial commitment to launch their dream brand! They’ve done it all so independently and have navigated starting a small business way better than I could have at 17! Thanks to everyone who sent words of encouragement and showered them with support. It’s means so much!

I was a “houseplant lady” before the pandemic, but I think since the pandemic I get to add the word “crazy” to that title. So. Many. Plants. I’m not mad about it!

This weekend @kctinygreenhouse I picked up this beautiful Monstera Peru as well as a bag of Jeff’s Jungle Mix. You know when a new to you potting mix has you super excited, you’ve crossed the line into la la land 😂 Swipe to see how pretty it is!

What pandemic hobby did you pick up?

Hi, friend! I Thought I’d just say “hey” and check in and add some pretty flowers to your feed.

We’re over here dragging ourselves across the school finish line...so close to done physically, but over done, mentally. Can you relate?

Book Lovers Giveaway (read to the end)!!! ⬇️ ⬇️ 

Supporting my local independent bookstore @rainydaybooks looks a lot different than it used to these days. Temporarily gone are the days of lingering in store, browsing the shelves, walking out with an armful of books I didn’t expect to buy. The pandemic has made independent bookstores pivot in ways they’ve never had to before, but I’m so happy to say they are CRUSHING IT! And as we virtually celebrate Independent Bookstore Day on 4/24, I wanted to share a way you too can help keep Independent bookstores afloat now (and in the future).

Can’t believe we’re doing the college tour thing already with my second baby! 

So question for any of you who sent your kids to out of state schools or went to out of state schools...how did you do it? She wants to get the heck out of Kansas (I’d like to go with her!). We have money saved, she’ll most likely get a scholarship or two, she’s paying and has money saved as well...but even with that out of state tuition is a beast of an amount. So, did you just assume that student loans were going to be part of that life? And is that worth it to give your kids a shot at a new life outside of your home state? I wish I would have left Kansas for university, and have been here since I was born 😩. I want different for her if that’s what she wants but also just don’t have any experience with how people do out of state college! Any tips?

J is for...jam!

My friend @wakschmale makes the best strawberry jam...and I completely forgot about a jar she gave me last year until this morning. Which then inspired me to make my favorite buttermilk biscuits. So so good. Are you a jam, honey, just butter or plain biscuit fan? I love biscuits allll the ways, except with gravy. I have super bad memories of biscuits and gravy growing up. 🤢
.
I’m still slowly making my way through the alphabet for @kimklassen_innercircle a-z photo challenge. I’m bound and determined to finish. It may just take me a little longer than I originally anticipated 🤗.

I is for Inspiration!
.
The “long haul” effects of having Covid back in December are really presenting themselves lately. The continuous persistent headaches are taking a toll and the connection between the brain fog and word retrieval function of my brain has been extra challenging. I had no idea a couple months out, the cognitive effects would still be hanging around.
.
With that said, when I get a burst of inspiration I’m grabbing on for dear life. I made our favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe yesterday and felt the desire to update the blog post photos from 2007! We make these cookies all the time, so I’m not sure why it’s taken me so many years to give that poor post some new photos.
.
If you’re interested in the recipe you can find the link currently in my profile. Enjoy!!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!
