1 cup Fry Krisp Fish Mix
½ cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying

3 cups cooked white or brown rice (use leftover or quick-cook)

Instructions

1. Prep the Fish (2 minutes): Pat fish pieces dry and dip in milk, then coat thoroughly with Fry Krisp Fish Mix. Let rest while you heat the oil.

2. Start the Base (3 minutes): In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the black beans with cumin and garlic powder for 1-2 minutes. Keep rice warm in microwave if needed.

3. Fry the Fish (8 minutes): Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat (375°F). Fry fish pieces in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and flakes easily. Internal temperature should reach 145°F.

4. Assemble the Bowls (2 minutes): Divide warm rice among 4 bowls. Top with seasoned black beans and crispy fish pieces.

5. Create the Toppings Bar: Arrange all fresh toppings in small bowls and let everyone customize their perfect taco bowl!

Chef's Tips for Busy Parents

* Make-Ahead Magic: Cook rice and prep toppings the night before – store in the fridge and just reheat

* Kid-Friendly Hack: Serve toppings on the side so picky eaters can build their own perfect bowl

* Leftover Love: This recipe works great with leftover rotisserie chicken too – just warm and season!

* Spice Control: Keep hot sauce and jalapeños separate so adults can add heat without overwhelming little taste buds

Serving Suggestions

Serve with warm flour tortillas on the side for anyone who wants to make actual tacos, and don't forget the lime wedges – that fresh citrus squeeze makes everything pop!

A simple side of tortilla chips with guacamole turns this into a complete Mexican feast that feels special enough for family taco night.
