Health Tips
- Opt for grilling or baking the fish instead of frying for a healthier version.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for added fiber.
- Incorporate more vegetables like radishes or cucumbers for extra nutrients.
How to Enjoy
- Serve immediately while warm. Fish Tacos pair wonderfully with a side of black beans or a fresh salad. A squeeze of lime adds a bright, zesty flavor that enhances every bite.
Tips

- Prepare a quick homemade salsa by combining tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lime juice for added freshness.
