Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- Start with fresh fish (never frozen) if possible to avoid a watery mess when the fish cooks.
- Use more seasoning than you might think you need to infuse flavor into the tacos.
- Warm the tacos before filling them (you can warm them in the microwave or in a dry skillet.)
- Switch up the toppings, or better yet, put a variety of toppings out and let your guests dress them up however they like.
- If you're using corn tortillas, double them up so that they don't fall apart on you.
