Fish Tacos

Ok.... this is a family favorite, but there are SO many different ways to prepare it. Also, it's not a picky dish, if you don't have something in the house you can easily substitute something else.

Fish Tacos

Tortillas:
you can use either corn or flour. if we have corn that's generally my first choice to use for fish tacos.... i think it's more authentic that way.

Filling:
this consists of 3-4 things: fish, sauce, salsa, salad.
Fish: easiest way is to throw a couple of fish sticks in the microwave, but that doesn't generally taste the best. if i do use fish stick, baking them so they're nice and crispy is best. or you can make your own fried fish. or if you want to do it a little healthier, (and this is what i generally do because it is quick and pretty inexpensive) is you can get your own fish (i generally use a white fish, tilapia or cod, but really you could experiment with any kind of fish) and then prepare what i call scrambled fish: in a frying pan put a couple teaspoons of oil or butter. add a clove of minced garlic, let the garlic cook about a minute and then add your fish. as the fish cooks let it break apart into small chunks. season with salt and pepper.
Sauce: Mayonaise and tabasco. Use as much or as little tabasco as you want to get the desired heat. I don't use a lot in mine (sometimes none at all) but husband normally likes it so hot that he sweats.
Salsa: I just use my pico de gallo.... you can find the recipe here.
Salad: I use either shredded lettuce or cabbage... and if i don't have either, no biggie, i'll leave it out. but it does add some nice texture.
