There is this place near my home that I love to go to for fish tacos. They are so good, but really only a once-in-a-while treat because they are big greasy and I'm sure super caloric–you can feel it too, once taco is more than enough. That doesn't mean that all fish tacos have to be that way to be good. Thank goodness!
I love this easy fish tacos with cilantro-lime crema recipe that I found because now I can make these tacos at home without all the extra grease and calories. YUM! I also like that when I make them at home, it's up to me which type of fish I use. Options are always good. You can even get a little jiggy with the tortillas you use. I like my tacos with corn tortillas, but my kids are fans of flour and it's an easy switch to make.
