Notes

These nutritional counts are for cooking without additional oil in the pan
We like any or all of these toppings with our fish tacos:
-shredded colored cabbage
-mango salsa
-regular salsa
-guacamole
-tartar sauce (try our homemade tartar sauce)
-pico de gallo 
Sides that go great with fish tacos are Mexican or Spanish rice, refried beans, black beans, corn on the cob, chips and more salsa!!
We warm our tortillas up for a few seconds in the microwave.
Another Idea:
Try a burrito bowl ~ with this seasoned fish, rice, sautéed onions and peppers, black beans, salsa, and guacamole. You'll love it!!
