Fresh Lime & Chilli Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa are a healthy and speedy dinner, bursting with tropical flavours. The best fish taco recipe!
I have a serious crush on fish tacos. In the summer I make them a lot; primarily because that is when all the amazing produce is in season for the salsa I love to make up to with the tacos. So, I guess you could say that fish tacos are really the perfect vehicle for some amazing salsa. This week just called for some fresh bright food … enter the fish taco.
Make this Cilantro Lime Crema!!! It takes tacos from the everyday to “wow” quickly. It’s 3 ingredients that get all blended up. I get hit up for this salsa recipe a lot. Here you go friends … it’s in print and accessible to you anytime you wish! I hope you all enjoy it as much as we do.
