The perfect meal for a hot summer day, or any day! I have been wanting to post this recipe forever, but with all this transition we’ve had (traveling, moving, etc.) and most of the time no kitchen to call my own, I haven’t been able to. This is a recipe that I came across years ago, and have changed and modified to perfection. Feel free to try it, tweak it, and make it your own! Don’t let the word “fish” scare you either. I have made it for people who thought they didn’t like fish, and they didn’t even know that they were eating fish! If you are totally anti “finned friends” then try it with shredded chicken. :)

Here it is for your viewing and tasting pleasure!

This is seriously an all time FAVORITE recipe for my family.

I have evidence this time! I had to take these pictures quick, because these kids downed their food in minutes– no struggle, just happy faces. Yes, this recipe is that good!

Not to mention, the hubs and I love it too.

Without further adieu, here is the recipe with pictures, and I included my favorite homemade guacamole recipe at the end as well.


Ingredients for fish tacos:

Pre-Baked White Fish (I use tilapia)
Corn Tortillas
Lime Juice

Basically, once you have cooked and shredded the baked tilapia, you just throw it all together!
