Ok, what’s the difference between being “crusted” and being “encrusted”. It doesn’t really matter except for the fact that it is something I have always wondered. I have a thing for breading my meat and fish items with the leftover crumbs in the potato chip bag. (i have also extended it now to pretzel crumbs and Cheezit crumbs etc) This is sort of the same idea in my eyes. Lean Cuisine has crusted this piece of delicate fish with tortilla. This Lean Cuisine Tortilla Crusted Fish smelled rocking out of the microwave and I was totally excited to sink my teeth into it.

This dish contains (said) fish plus rice, poblano peppers and corn in a sour cream sauce. The flavors were great as I imagined myself eating it at a restaurant in New Mexico or something. The poblano peppers added a spicy taste while the sour cream made it mild. All in all this was  solid dish with a good piece of fish at a good size, accompanied with a nice variety of rice and mix-ins.

I only have 1 complaint: I had a very tough piece of pepper that had the consistency of a piece of plastic. I took it out of my mouth to check if it was indeed plastic and after seeing it was in fact a pepper, i stuck it back in my mouth to give another go. After another 30 seconds I gave up and discarded it to the opposite side of the plastic tray.

It seems to be unfair to base an entire dish off of a rogue piece of pepper that was just too tough for my molars but hey, that’s the first thing I will remember when I eat it again. That being said, it still earns a solid 3 1/2 rating.
