Fish Tacos

 Fish Tacos- Dairy and Egg Free with Tomato and Avocado Salsa



Crispy fish filets topped with a delicious salsa. So easy to make and sooooooooo tasty. You could bake the fish filets, if you prefer.

You will need: ( for 2 people - 2 tacos each)

One large basa filet, thawed and patted dry with paper towels- you can use any other white, mild tasting fish

1/2 cup flour, lightly salted

1/2 cup water

1 cup bread crumbs - I use a mixture of Italian bread crumbs, pinko crumbs and corn meal

1 tbsp of taco seasoning mix, spicy or hot - mix it into your breadcrumbs 

4 tortillas- I used corn tortillas 

Begin by cutting your fish filets into strips so you have 8 pieces. Dredge filets in the flour, then dip into water, and finally coat with the breadcrumbs

Heat up your frying pan to medium high and add a couple of tbsps of a light vegetable oil

Fry your filets until cooked, a few minutes on each side. If breadcrumb mixture begins to burn, lower heat.

In a separate frying pan, lightly coated with a vegetable oil, heat your tortillas until lightly golden. Don’t over do it or they will become too hard. You can also warm them up in the microwave for 15 seconds on high heat. They can also go into a hot oven for a few minutes.

Place two pieces of cooked fish onto one tortilla and top with salsa.

So good😋😋

Salsa recipe: enough for 4 tacos - can easily be doubled for more tacos

Half a tomato, diced

Half an avocado, diced

Half a green onion, thinly sliced

4 slices of pickled jalapeños, diced

Juice of half a lime

1 tbsp freshly chopped parsley 

Sprinkle of salt

Mix altogether. This can be made ahead of time and refrigerated.
