How to Make Fish Tacos

Fish tacos are a delicious alternative to the traditional Mexican variety. They can be as spicy or mild as you please, and are real crowd pleasers. To learn how to make fish tacos, just read the recipe in this guide.

These Baja style fish tacos are light, crunchy, and flavorful. This is a super-fast recipe using frozen fish sticks. If you prefer to start with fresh fish, any white, firm-fleshed variety will do. Just grill, bake or fry with desired seasonings (see this page for cooking tips). You can also vary toppings, adding sour cream or even ranch dressing if you please!

Step 1: Gather Ingredients

This makes 8 tacos:

  • 8 Medium-sized frozen fish sticks
  • 16 White corn tortillas
  • 2 Fresh jalapenos, chopped, seeded if you don't want too much heat
  • 1 Cup salsa
  • 2 Ripe avocados, diced
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1 Medium lime
  • 1 Cup chopped cabbage

Step 2: Make the Tacos

  1. Cook fish sticks according to package directions
  2. Heat tortillas (60 seconds in the microwave will do)
  3. Take two tortillas and lay one on top of the other
  4. Place a fish stick on top
  5. Squeeze on a few drops of lime juice
  6. Top with jalapeno, tomato, cabbage and avocado
  7. Spoon salsa on top
  8. Repeat until tortillas are gone

Step 3: Serve

Fish tacos should be served immediately. Garnish with a line wedge or cilantro if desired. If you wish to serve a side dish with your tacos, consider a Mexican-style bean salad, refried beans and rice, or even potato chips or French fries. Enjoy!
