Very tasty preparation! I used some crappie filets my brother dropped off; so not exactly "sole" but I sang while I cooked it, so hopefully I injected some "soul" into the dish! :rofl: Anyway....I made a few changes (besides the crappies), mainly I used some tomato sauce, as I don't buy canned peeled tomatoes--so didn't have any on hand; AND I skipped the jalapenos altogether--as I am majorly a wuss when it comes to "heat" in foods. Served this with CraftScout's Recipe #229051 and Maven's Recipe #370954--*ZWT 5 Mex-Tex for the Groovy GastroGnomes* We be back on the mini-bus and heading towards our next destination!
