Grilled Fish Tacos
Pinterest Hidden Image

Who wants to cook inside during the summer months? NOT ME! Well it depends… if it’s not too “hot”, it doesn’t bother me BUT if the mercury rises beyond my comfort zone, cooking will definitely be done outside. Of course we all agree that grilling on the barbecue is the way to go.
 
One of our favorite light food items that we enjoy cooking on the BBQ is Fish. It’s quick to prepare, easy to cook and there are so many versatile ways to have it. One of them is in a taco. After prepping all your ingredients, the only thing that has to be done is to grill the fish and the tacos. A few minutes later… voilà, dinner is served!
 
This Grilled Fish Tacos recipe I’m sharing with you today is so delicious! You can use halibut (that’s the one I’m using in the video), mahi mahi, grouper, cod, Snapper or flounder but the secret ingredient is the fish rub. With a blend of spices, this rub is the right choice to make your fish shine… well in this case grill is probably more appropriate, lol!
 
When it’s time to assemble your taco after barbecuing, you can use chopped ingredients such as Avocados, Red Cabbage, Chives and so on and there’s a nice fresh creamy dill sauce that can be drizzled on top too. This Grilled Fish Tacos recipe is the perfect dish to enjoy anytime but more so when you really don’t want to cook anything inside. You can serve this delicious dish along with Mexican Rice… yum!
Bon Appétit!
