Fishie Tacos Galore!


Summer is slowly making it’s appearance, the flowers are in bloom, the sun is shinning, and nothing makes me happier than being able to work the grill without nearly freezing! On tonight’s menu, fish tacos with lime crema and mango salsa. Now, I never really liked the concept of fish tacos. I love Mexican food and fish, but they never sounded right together. This recipe changed my stance on fish tacos, for sure. This recipe is light and cooks up quickly. The lime crema really makes the recipe! And best of all, 2 tacos, fully loaded, is only about 288 calories!
