I'm making fish tacos tomorrow night for dinner... it's grilled, seasoned tilapia with a mango avocado salsa and shredded cabbage in flour tortillas. I was thinking about making a rice side to go with them, but I'm having a hard time coming up with a recipe. I'm not a big fan of tomato based spanish rice, so I was thinking about maybe a coconut rice... anyone have any good ideas?

    how about instead of rice you have quinoa? It's a wonderful grain that's a complete protein. There are a few mixes on the market and Bob's Red Mill also has a good version. Depending on what you buy you'll have to rinse the grains.
    It's kinda nutty in flavor...just cook it for the correct amount of time and toss in some fresh herbs and chopped carrots and cucumbers...its wonderful! :bigsmile:
