Fish tacos

 

Fish tacos. Easy. Light. Relatively healthy. Flaky and succulent. We love them for a quick weeknight meal. There are two routes we like to go: Baking breaded fish filets, cooking, slicing, and adding them to a tortilla with salsa, tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, shredded cabbage, sour cream, and lime juice.

Or following the instructions below, which entails using fresh (or thawed frozen fish) in a marinade.

Rating: Truly 1/2 assed

Here's what you need and how you do it

1 pound fresh cod, halibut, tilapia, whitefish, etc.

1 package Simply Organics Fish Taco seasoning (or make your own with paprika, cumin, garlic salt, black pepper and whatever else your heart desires).

Olive or canola oil

1/4 cup water (if using pre-packaged seasoning)

Toppings: Chopped tomatoes, sliced green onions, fresh cilantro, shredded cabbage, sour cream, salsa, lime juice, avocado.

Flour tortillas

Slice fish filet into narrow strips. In a medium-sized bowl, mix fish with dash of olive or canola oil. Stir to coat.

In separate bowl, add Fish Taco Seasoning to 1/4 cup water. (If using your own spices, just mix with fish.) Whisk together. Pour onto fish and stir to coat again.

In a skillet, pour in a little oil, add fish and pan fry until fish is flaky and tender (about ten minutes). Serve in warm tortillas with desired toppings.

Good paired with black beans with lime and cilantro.

I make tacos with popcorn shrimp sometimes, and I found the best sauce to top them or tacos made with fish or chicken, it is Litehouse Creamy Cilantro, it is found with the cold salad dressings, and it is amazing! I highly recommend trying it on these

i made these for dinner to night and lime juice to the seasoning before cooking. We made a baja lime cream sauce 1/4 cup mayo 1/4 cup sour cream lime juice, zest of lime, salt and cilantro to taste. They were great!
