CRISPY FISH TACOS
Sometimes I feel like I have a taste pallet of an 8-year-old because I love fish sticks and chicken fries as much my son. Sometimes, when it’s just the two of us at dinner time, I just bake us some fish sticks and fries and we happily share it. Who said that it’s just for kids?
Fish sticks are also more than just for fish and chips or dipping into ketchup. (Hope I’m not the only one to dip my crispy fish sticks in ketchup.) Did you know that crispy fish sticks are amazing in tacos? It’s a great combination of textures when a crispy fish fillet is wrapped in a soft, flour tortilla. We often take advantage of the fun “Taco Tuesday” tradition and if you do as well, try FISH TACOS!
These tacos that I’m sharing today are made even more amazing with the addition of spicy cucumber mango relish, avocado, and a cool crema.
Biting into this taco is a fantastic experience for your taste buds. It’s not just the combination of textures, but the combination of flavors too that makes it so pleasing. The crispy fish stick meets a soft tortilla and cooling cucumber and mango.
The sweet, salty, and spicy combination between the crispy fish and mango relish hits all taste areas at one. Avocado and avocado cilantro crema serves as a perfect creamy cooling agent for the chili spice.
