Easy Weeknight Dinners, Pan With a Plan

Why does making dinner sometimes feel like an overwhelming task? I love to cook and I really enjoy creating new recipes or trying out new ingredients I know my family will love, but sometimes with the hustle and bustle of life it feels like making dinner is equivalent to climbing Mount Everest. Well, dinner just got much more convenient thanks to Imagine® Organic Culinary Simmer Sauces, our sponsor for today’s recipe and post. I’m sharing an easy weeknight dinner, Latin Veracruz Fish Tacos, that your whole family will love and with just 3 easy steps and 10 minutes you’ll be sitting around the table enjoying a delicious meal with your family!

Regardless of your cooking skills Imagine® Organic Culinary Simmer Sauces allow you to prepare a delicious culinary creation using your favorite protein (beef, chicken, seafood, ect.) for a wholesome meal that will take the stress out of dinner time. The certified organic and gluten free simmer sauces are available in four unique flavors:

Portobello Red Wine
Latin Veracruz
Thai Coconut Curry
Louisiana Creole

I will admit I was a little skeptical at first about these “gourmet meals in minutes.” I mean how great could a sauce in a pouch really be? Trust me when I tell you that the Imagine® Organic Culinary Simmer Sauces did not disappoint! Our family loves tacos so I decided to give the Latin Veracruz sauce a try and make fish tacos for dinner. Delicious does not even begin to describe how yummy these tacos were, it was like eating at one of my favorite gourmet taco shops! And, it took me less time to make this meal than it would have taken me to round up the kids, get in the car and drive to our favorite taco joint. You just need 10 minutes, your favorite ingredients and 3 easy steps to make easy weeknight dinners.

Start by heating oil in a skillet and searing your fish, approximately 1.5 minutes per side. I added shrimp to the pan after I flipped my fish to the other side, it will cook faster than the fish so you don’t want to add it too early and over cook it.

Now pour on the Latin Veracruz simmer sauce. Let the fish simmer on medium heat for approximately 3-5 minutes.

Meanwhile prep your favorite ingredients for your tacos, we added cilantro, avocado and queso fresco. Put everything in tortillas and serve with Spanish rice and black beans. Now that is what I call a Pan with a plan, a delicious and easy weeknight dinners that taste gourmet!
