These fish tacos. YUM. I had never made fish tacos before, but this recipe was amazinggg, and definitely as good if not better than any I’ve ordered in a restaurant. I used mahi mahi because Costco has my freezer stocked right now and I love the consistency, but any white fish would work well.
Fish tacos used to intimidate me. Well, making fish in general, but these are so easy. Simply whisk together your seasonings of choice, rub it on the fish, then saute until flaky.
How good does that fish look? So yummy. I made my paleo tortillas for our tacos, but any organic corn, or non-grain tortilla would work great (if you care about keeping it paleo). I am loving Siete tortillas right now. They have an almond flour and cassava and coconut flour tortilla that are so good, and much easier than homemade;) We also topped ours with my homemade cabbage slaw which is a must for me when I eat fish tacos.
If you’re not loving fish, try this spice rub on chicken breasts for a chicken taco. It would be just as good. Enjoy!

Your fish recipe sounds awesome and so did the Siete tortillas until I saw the price. Good grief.
Yes they’re pricey but delicious! You could always try making your own tortillas. I have a recipe on the blog 🙂
