#TacoTuesdays are becoming very on trend lately and why not they are fast, family friendly and so utterly satisfying making them an easy choice for the beginning of a busy week.
But how can we switch things up from the ordinary “Old El Paso”and pack even more of a nutritious spin on it? By replacing mince with fish and adding different veg, the lighter filling and zesty flavours of lime and coriander will make the typical ‘stand & stuff’ a thing of the past. The family will not regret the new and improved Mexican fiesta!

A fishy take on taco night.
