Halibut & Tilapia Fish Taco’s with Cilantro and Lime Cabbage

Written By: Chris - Apr• 23•15

Bill and I love fish taco’s.  I try to change them up a bit based on ingredients that I have on hand.  They are simple and delicious metronom app kostenlos herunterladen!  One of our favorite Costco finds are the Tortilla Crusted Tilapia filet’s.  They are easy to prepare and so flavorful!  Each fillet is around 4 oz, and I like how you can pull just a couple from the package http //www.cewe-fotobuch.de downloaden.  We both really enjoy Halibut, which is a popular flatfish that has a fresh and unique taste.  Besides it being a great source of necessary nutrients in the body, it has a delicately sweet flavor making it a favorite siemens logo soft comfort for free.  Each are lean fish with white flesh that contains few bones.  Fish is a very good source of high quality protein and is rich in various nutrients such as selenium, magnesium, phosphorus potassium, vitamin B12, niacin, vitamin B6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids monopoly for free german full version.  I prefer the flavor of White Corn Tortillas and like the Mission brand .  They are thick and pliable, and roll and fold without cracking.  Charred a bit over the open burner, these tortillas deliver a rich corn taste that is awesome radio.at free of charge.  I doctor the taco’s up a bit, by adding savoy, Lime and Cilantro Coleslaw that I prepared, mimicking one that I watched Tyler Florence prepare flags for free.
