Baja Fish Tacos

Submitted by Pvt Amys Mom

"I HATE FISH & I LOVE these tacos!! The fish is pan fried, not batter fried. We found the recipe on another site, it is originally an Ortega Taco Shell recipe. The fish has taco seasoning mix on it and makes for a zesty taco. These are really good!"

A family favorite. My MIL who doesn't like cilantro even liked this recipe. To make it more healthy we use 1 cup greek yogurt and omit the sour cream/mayonnaise. We like to switch it up and use black beans, avocado slices, and any other thing someone may like on a beef taco. :D I have used catfish, halibut, mahji, etc.
