When my husband and I got married, we combined all of our kitchen appliances.\u00a0 Both of us had accumulated a kitchen full of various gadgets in the years since college.\u00a0 I thought everything I contributed were “must haves” for any cook, and looked quite skeptically at many of the items my husband contributed.\u00a0 What in the world was I ever going to do with a silly George Foreman type grill that I’d only seen on infomercials?\u00a0 I thought you only made hamburgers with it.\u00a0 After recently giving it a try, I have to give my husband kudos for contributing a great appliance.<\/p>\n

I decided to try the indoor grill after eating some delicious grilled fish tacos at a restaurant.\u00a0 We have an outdoor grill but I cook dinner while simultaneously chasing our one-year-old so that’s not too safe.\u00a0 I remembered the dusty George Foreman type grill and gave it a try after giving it a good cleaning.\u00a0 I let the grill warm up for about 5 minutes and then sprayed it with cooking spray.\u00a0 I had thawed some tilapia in the refrigerator overnight.\u00a0 I liberally sprinkled both sides of the fish with blackening seasoning, threw the pieces on the grill, shut the lid and let the machine do its job.\u00a0 Meanwhile, I chopped lettuce and tomatoes, heated some tortillas in the microwave, put cheese and salsa in bowls, and prepared a side of corn.<\/p>\n

\"Fish\"<\/p>\n

In less than ten minutes, the fish was perfectly cooked and dinner was ready.\u00a0 I was amazed at how tasty and easy the tacos were to make.\u00a0 They are now a family favorite.\u00a0 (Grilling time will vary depending on the thickness of the fish.\u00a0\u00a0Cook until\u00a0fish is white and flaky.)<\/p>\n

\"Taco\"<\/p>\n

I’ve since made grilled vegetables, shrimp, and veggie burgers on the grill – all have turned out delicious.<\/p>\n

\"Shrimp\"<\/p>\n

Do you have appliances you never use?\u00a0 Dust them off and give them another try – you never know what you’ll discover!<\/p>\n
