HEALTHY FISH TACOS RECIPE

Healthy Fish Tacos Recipe is bright, fresh, healthy, packed full of flavor, and ready in about 20 minutes.

I like to serve these tacos with Easy Mexican Rice, Chipotle’s Cilantro Lime Rice, or Green Chile Cheese Rice.

Fish Tacos

Fish and shrimp both cook really quickly. For this reason, they are mainstays on my weekly menu. They’re also healthy if you pan sauté or grill.

Furthermore, if you want to save on carbs you can top lettuce or slaw with the fish and omit the wrap.

As well, you can substitute fresh, medium-size shrimp instead of fish for this recipe.

HEALTHY FISH TACOS RECIPE

  • Fish. A mild white fish is best. I recommend tilapia, mahi-mahi, snapper, cod, flounder, grouper. If you’re from the South, catfish is usually easy to get fresh.
  • Tortillas. I prefer flour tortillas but you can also use corn, gluten-free, keto, or your favorite.
  • Toppings. You can go plain or loaded. I dressed these with taco sauce, cheese, and cabbage. There are more ideas for you below.

HOW TO DRESS FISH TACOS

  • Cotija Cheese or your favorite cheese
  • lime – Never underestimate the power of freshly squeezed lime juice!
  • Tomatoes, diced
  • Cilantro
  • Onions, diced
  • Pickles onions
  • Lettuce, shredded
  • Tangy Slaw has a vinegar instead of a mayonnaise base
  • Shredded cabbage
  • Avocado or Guacamole
  • Black Bean Salsa or Pineapple Salsa
  • Fresh Mango Salsa
  • Fish Taco Sauce

  • Sauteed Tequila Lime Shrimp
  • Shrimp Pasta in Spicy New Orleans Tomato Cream Sauce
  • New Orleans Sausage Shrimp Crawfish Pasta
  • Fish Nachos
  • Honey Garlic Salmon
