Fish Tacos

·

Let me start by saying I hate fish!! I have hated fish since the beginning of time! But since everything I read about healthy eating states very clearly the importance of adding it to your diet… I knew that I would have to end my hatred of fish and at least find a way to sneak it in here and there! So when a friend told me about tilapia and how “unfishy” it was, I thought that would be a good place for me to start my fish eating… I tried it a couple times and mostly gagged it down. I like to think of myself as a foodie, with a somewhat sophisticated palette… so there had to be a way to make fish taste good, right?!?!? Enter the lovely  fish tacos pictured below! I made them and found myself actually enjoying fish!! I was surprised as anybody! Since then these little gems have made their way into our meal rotation. My kids LOVE them and gobble them up… (well except my super picky two year old) I can’t get that girl to eat anything…. The best part these tacos are super simple to make!
