California Fish Tacos Ww

KateL's Note:

From WW's Hit the Spot. The original recipe called for red snapper, but catfish works well, too. You can use any firm white fish, so mahi mahi, grouper, tilapia, haddock, or cod will also work to suit your personal preference. (Sole or flounder would be too thin.) 4 WW "thingies" on old plan, but add 2 "thingies" if add 1/4 avocado to each serving. Update 5/4/13: Made these for myself, and I was disappointed: the fish didn't stay hot after flaking, the cabbage-onion mixture overwhelmed the fish, and cold tacos are a waste of calorie expenditure. DH would have preferred lettuce to cabbage, although lettuce has no nutritional value.On the plus side, the lime juice kept the avocado from spoiling. For a better fish taco, try WiGal's WiGal's Cumin-Seasoned Fish Tacos #480852.

Great flavor combination. Loved the cabbage mix and the marinade on the fish. We used Tilapia. The avocado was the perfect finisher. Made for PRMR.

These are great simple and tasty fish tacos! I used tilapia for the fish and that worked well with the lime/chili topping. I don't care for raw onions so used a thinly sliced bell pepper instead. I did not use the optional avocado so just squeezed the extra lime juice over the cabbage mixture. This is a tasty meal that can be on the table in minutes - thanks for sharing the recipe!
