Healthy Fish Tacos

This healthy fish taco platter is easy to put together, full of fresh veggies and totally delicious! Everybody loves this easy and flavorful dinner.I remember my first fish taco.  It was 1996 and I was 11.  The taco stand was Danny’s Taquería in Mulegé, Mexico and it cost about .25 USD.  Mulegé is a fishing community just a few miles from the Sea of Cortez so the fish was always fresh and delicious.  At Danny’s it was fried, the tortillas were home made and the veggies to put on top were plentiful.

Twenty odd years later I have had many fish tacos, but never any as good as Danny’s.  Now in my 30s, I consider fried food a treat and not a dietary staple.  Being a grown-up is not always as much fun as we thought, huh?  This recipe is a simple weeknight toss together you can have ready in less than thirty minutes.  There are always days that get away from me by dinner time and I need a fast meal that is not pizza or takeout!  We can all use more fish and veggies in our diets so I think this is a win all around. I love to serve fresh Tartar Sauce with these tacos, even though it is less traditional.  Click here for my yummy Classic Tartar Sauce recipe.  Happy simple and healthy eating!
