Fish Taco Recipe

I have made Fish Tacos several times over the past month and we just love them! Simple and so delish. I used to order them at a local Mexican restaurant, but they have gone out of business now. I came across 3 different recipes for Fish Tacos and this is the version we love. Several people have now asked me how to make them, so here goes...

Fish Tacos -for 4
approx. 4 breaded fish planks (or about 12-16 fish sticks)
12 small soft tortillas
corn
chopped tomato

1/2 pkg. cole slaw mix
1/2 cup thin sliced red onion
1/4 cup mayo
2-3 tsp. sugar/Splenda
3 tbs. lime juice
the zest from a lime

*Bake your fish at the pkg. directions. Cut up into small pcs.
*Mix the mayo, lime zest, lime juice, and sugar together and toss well with the cole slaw and onions. (We like it bold & zesty so I use the zest from an entire lime. You may want to decrease the amount.)
*Heat your corn. Chop the tomatoes.
*Load the tortillas with fish, corn, tomato and top with the lime cole slaw mix. SUPER DELICIOUS!!!
**Serve with Knorr Mexican Rice.


**The small tortillas are sold in a 16 count pkg. at Walmart in the bread aisle.
**We also tried them with corn taco shells. Just depends on your taste.
**Each taco takes at least one fish stick. Depends again on your taste and budget.

This is such a simple meal to prepare and is so tasty. I bought Gorton's fish on sale BOGO recently, so we are stocked up and ready for many fish taco nights to come! It is handy that it takes about half a bag of cole slaw mix for a recipe, so we use the other half the next week and do it all over again. As long as the bag is closed up tight it will last.
Another idea to use up your remaining cole slaw mix is to make an Oriental Salad, similar to the one they make at Applebee's. Add things like lettuce, chinese noodles, almonds, dried pineapple, chopped chicken, etc... and toss with an Asian dressing. Kraft sells several different flavors.
