Description:

My husband was so sad about having to give up some of his favorite mexican food (especially his tacos) I just knew I needed to come up with something. I had heard of fish taco's before but couldn't find any 'safe' recipes for it so I was left to my own devices. I think we have a winner here. This Recipe serves two perfectly. Easily Doubled to serve 4.
