The best Homemade Fish Tacos




My husband is a huge fan of Fish Tacos. When we were stationed in Memphis, TN we both fell in love with a little mexican deli called Las Tortugas. He always got the Fish Tacos made fresh by Pepe himself. Well up here in Illinois we are finding it really hard to get super good mexican food. I have experimented many times with various fish taco recipes, including the simple fish with Old Bay Seasoning on them (bleh, too salty!).

Well Homemade Gourmet to the rescue! I was on their Key 2 the Kitchen website with all the recipes for their products. Lo and behold there was a Fish Taco recipe using the Garlic Lemon seasoning.

Well needless to say it was a HUGE hit! I made it with only 3 tilapia filets and I had to hear about it! He even took the pan I cooked it in and scraped up all the tiny bits from the pan. This is a great WAHM recipe as it only takes less than 10 minutes to prepare.
