Simple Fish Tacos

I crave fish tacos all the time.

I could eat them fried, grilled, spicy or with shrimp. Holy moly I love them. Now I will have to admit that I am a big supporter of homemade flour tortillas, but with fish tacos you have to give justice to them and serve them the traditional way in corn tortillas. YOU JUST HAVE TOO.

This is the first time that we made them with an avocado sauce. I think it will be my new go to sauce for fish or shrimp tacos; it is just that good. Trust me on this.

This week, my dad has made the trip down from Brady to visit my mom. He is always complaining about how when he visits we always go out to eat. Well, he had a different menu last night. We served up the fish tacos with a cheesy rice and it was all demolished within about 20 minutes. They all enjoyed a nice refreshing beer with their fish tacos while I enjoyed a nice refreshing ice water. I just can’t seem to get enough.

ENJOY!
