So over the summer, I have been trying my best to rotate (even writing that word is painful) some meals that my family loves and have pleaded with me to make again. So being the good mom and wife that I try to be, I have found one that I now make almost every Monday night… FISH TACOS!!

While the fish is cooking, I lightly fry the corn tortillas. I also prepare the corn salsa and get all the bowls laid out. I do love my big yellow bowls for fish night… well, because it is fish night and of course, festive bowls are required!

The main ingredients to add to the tacos are shredded purple or green cabbage, corn salsa, regular salsa, avocado and a splash of lime juice. I sometimes will add a fish sauce if I have time.

 

Once you have everything set out, the magic happens… well, at least at our house, it does. My kids absolutely love filling their tortillas up. I believe there is no right or wrong way to build one’s taco. Do whatever makes sense to you! I personally go in order from bottom to top like this: fish, cabbage, corn salsa, avocado, salsa and end with the lime juice.

I hope you enjoy these tasty tacos as much as my family does! And who knows, maybe it’ll make it on your weekly rotation like it has to mine!!

2. Lightly fry each side of tortilla… approximately 2 minutes each side.

CORN SALSA

1.  Place frozen corn in colander and run cool water over it until thawed; approximately a minute.
2. Shake colander until all the water is removed.

So tell me, what is your family’s favorite meal you make over and over?
