Tasty Bites: Fish Tacos
By Beth V
Have you ever tried Fish Tacos? When you think of fish tacos, do you think, “Yum, what a treat!” or do you think, “Fish taco meat? Gross!”? My own dear mom has the second reaction. Once you’ve tried them, you come to realize that fish tacos are in a completely different category than regular tacos. It’s not just throwing a packet of taco seasoning on fish and using all of the same accompaniments you would use on ground beef tacos. Think instead of well-seasoned, grilled or pan-fried fish tucked into a warm tortilla on a bed of shredded cabbage, with a dollop of lime-infused avocado cream and fresh-chopped pico de gallo. There is no “fishiness” just freshness. Fresh, healthy, palate-pleasing flavors.
We’ll start by chopping vegetables for fresh pico de gallo. There are five simple ingredients – tomato, onion, jalapeno, cilantro and lime juice. The heat-level of the pico de gallo is determined by how you chop the jalapeno.
