Thanks, D2S and Impy, I was a little messy on the presentation, (see the black beans stuck on the top of the tortilla?) but they really tasted great. The fruit salsa with the fish, great combo!
ImpyChick, way to improvise on the salsa! Those poppers looked really appetizing!
edit-AW, POOP! I was in a hurry to get the plating pics done, out on the deck with the yellowjackets attacking, and the crema drizzling away....forgot the POL!
Oh Well.....Salsa STILL RULES!

Very nicely done, SL!
Wondering - what did you do with the tortillas? I ask because they don't look toasted (dry griddled) or lightly fried, so am curious.
just nuked them. I prefer flour tortillas, but thought the yellow corn would work better for this meal. As we've talked about before, I can never seem to get the corn tortillas to work and not break. I saw someone else nuke 'em for a recent party and it seemed to work well, so that's what I did.
For the first ones we ate quick after preparing the plate, it was fine, then they broke a little. But it all still tasted Great. Brings back memories of Baja~~~~
Madge? Oh, Madge? Where the heck is the Palmolive???? ScoD has used every pot and pan we own - twice!!! slave driver. But mmmm...there's a Mexican Coma in our near future!!!! teehee
Hey! I'm not a Fatali Virgin anymore!!!! Thanks SL!!!! Pretty sure "Fatali" is African for "death" tho! But, oh so citrussy, with a nice floral undertone...at least that's what the surviving tastebuds told me. 'Course, they also told me my 'Lada tastes like a Bloody Mary, so who can tell, right?
crap. More dishes....Everyone's pics are making me sooooooo hungry! Good Eats 'cross this nation tonite!

All the pics I took...only a few actually made it out of the camera. So...here's some teaser-randomness.
The chiles:
Dried Nu-Mex (Hatch <hot>), jalapeno, serrano, orange habanero, red habanero, and one of AJ's "super-scorps". Not in the pic, I used about 3 pounds of fresh Hatch chiles that I roasted, and peeled.
Yeah...of all the damn pics to actually make it...the 'end-cut' bacon pieces made it into the fold. These are for the pozole, and the borracho beans.
Veggies for the grill...tossing something a little different on fajitas. Medium portabellas, onion, hatch green chiles, jalapenos, lime, salt and pepper.
And for the rice, I boil down a half dozen or so baby carrots, a large roma tomato, a dried hatch/numex hot, and add some fresh roasted hatch green chile. blend it up, and add the water and some chicken stock to cook the rice, then puree.

Oh damn. I didn't read the rules carefully and I didn't add the coinage to my pics. And thanks, SL!
There's still plenty of time - make some more!
Besides, there is no such thing as "too much Mexican"
