Roasted Corn

Tomatoes

Avocado

White Onion

Italian Parsley

If you are craving salted cod, you will need to make sure you can resist the desire for the next 2 to 3 days. Salted cod needs to soak. And, not only does it need to soak but the water needs to be changed about every 6-8 hours.

Once that has happened, you can do whatever you like with it. I decided to take the easy route and poach it. After it has been cooking in boiling water for 10 minutes, I took my spatula and started to break it up. I cooked the cod until all the water was evaporated and then finished it with a splash of white wine and oddly enough, salt and pepper. I forgot the lemon.

I chopped up my tomatoes, avocado, onion and roasted some corn from a cob in a pan. Black beans on the stove, all of this is EASY. But I did make my own shells and even that was super simple. In a pan, about 1 and 1/2 inch of vegetable oil, wait till it's at 200 degrees and set half of your tortilla in, let fry. Once browned and crisp, do the other side. Set on a paper towel to dry/harden. You will need tongs for this.

Assemble to your taco desire.
