Living in Southern California there is amazing and delicious fish taco around every corner, it’s the go to meal anytime of day. It can be fried, baked, grilled, you name it and you can find a taco shop that sells exactly what you are craving. But what if you want to stay home and have the best fish tacos under your own roof made with a homemade margarita. That’s where this Mahi Mahi Tacos come in soooo handy.
If you can get your hands on some perfect avocados… those are a must. Something about creamy avocado just completes a taco in my eyes. You may have these ingredients on hand and can use any variation of them. Different fish, seasonings and tortillas can all be used and still make this taco perfect. You will love the creamy bite of the crema as it marries so well with the crispy fish.
