Fish Tacos
What’s better than a regular taco?
I mean, really Invisible Friends, let’s think about this. What could be better than ground beef, beans, melted cheese all wrapped up in a warm corn tortilla?
Fish tacos, of course!
Ya’ll know I like beef.
In fact, I love beef. Beef ribs, tacos, fajitas, enchiladas….Beef stews, beef burgundy, beef tips and rice, chicken fried steak, regular steak, burgers, meatloaf, chili, meatballs, mini burgers…
But I digress.
However, even though we live in the land of cacti and tumbleweeds rather than on the coast, I’ve discovered the glories of tilapia, which lets me have all the inexpensive white fish my little duckie heart could desire.
And it was only a matter of time before I turned it into a taco. I live in South Texas, ya’ll. We turn everything into tacos.
First, you cook the fish in a skillet with onions and chopped green and green peppers with a splash of vegetable oil.
Then, you heat up your corn tortillas (the traditional way is to heat them in oil, but occasionally we try to eat somewhat healthy in the Pond.)
Sprinkle some cheese, add some black beans and rice and you’re set.
In fact, I think I’ll go have some now.
Excuse me.
Stay tuned, Invisible Friends! Tomorrow we have a new Twirl and Saturday, a new Creative Woman of the Pond, Natasha from Living in the Kitchen with Puppies! Stay tuned!

While i was living in America, I got totally addicted to regular Tacos, but, being a vegetarian, I only use soy mince. I must admit though, that these sound really good! I love just to experiment with food!
I’m loving this site, and always laugh at the things that you do!

We like talapia around here.

Looks yummy! I will have to try this recipe ASAP now that I actually have an appetite. I have been sooooo sick with this pregnancy. I’m still baby growing- only 4 months to go and I’ll get to meet the little guy! Take Care-miss reading your blog. Need to come back to the computer world now that my little girls are in school.

This is something I’ve wanted to try for a long time! You really should publish a cookbook girl
August 27th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
I’m been saying that I was going to try fish tacos. My hubby would love another excuse to go fishing more than he already does and I need more recipes for the fish he catches.

I have got to try making fish tacos one of these days. I have a recipe in my head with avocados, fish and lime, that is just waiting to be made.

August 27th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
NOT a fish fan but my family loves fish tacos. My Doctor would love for me to fall in love with these too as I was just told my good cholesterol is too low. I’ll opt for more avocados! I have a recipe on my blog for you. It’s totally southwest for you.
August 27th, 2009 at 9:05 pm
Yes, yes, yes! These look so good!
August 28th, 2009 at 4:58 am

Two things I have never ever had, tilapia and fish tacos. Perhaps I need to change that! I just got a new taco cookbook today! xxoo
August 28th, 2009 at 7:59 am
I’ve never heard of fish tacos before. Sounds quite intriguing especially when you give them your A-OKay. Thanks for sharing, Duckie!
August 28th, 2009 at 8:09 am
tacos rule, and that’s that. i don’t care for the fish part, but everything else makes my belly roar. incidentally, having just read the title of the above post, willie nelson is now stuck in my head.
August 28th, 2009 at 9:22 am
Fish tacos and ice cold beer with lime rock my world!
