Peace, Love And Tacos

I love tacos…period. When some­one asks me what my favorite cui­sine is, with­out a stut­ter I say MEXICAN.

How is it that some­thing so sim­ple, inex­pen­sive and del­ish as the TACO has such RAVING fans? Is it because we actu­al­ly pre­fer eat­ing with our hands? That they’re messy in good way?

What­ev­er it is, I’m not sure I’ve met amy­one that does­n’t love tacos!

The recipe I’m shar­ing here is for fish tacos…I made it up one day with what I had on hand…that’s how I roll a lot of the time.

And like I men­tion in most of my recipe posts, use the recipe as a GUIDE and go from there!
