Thankfully, living in Southern California means that I'm never far from a fish taco. But if I was, life would still be a-ok because fish tacos are one of the easiest things on the planet to make.
I don't mean the naked kind, a.k.a the "grilled" fish taco. I'm talking about the crunchy beer battered fried taco, which I know is probably not as healthy as the grilled version, but lives can be changed when you bite into that crispy batter and the hot flaky fish hits your tongue. When I saw some Copper River Salmon at my local Costco going for an awesome price, I threw some in the cart stat!
Normally I'd use halibut for fish tacos but salmon tastes just as good, and it's packed with healthy oils which probably sadly vanish when it hits the fryer. But remember the crispy batter guys, that's all we need to focus on right now, crispy crunchy batter.

The other ingredients couldn't be simpler. Tortillas - corn and charred. Cilantro - fresh and lots of it. Avocado - because it's California! Leafy greens - because we still want to be healthy and balanced.
(Who are we kidding, the crispy crunchy batter cancels that out!)So how does fish tacos once a month sound? Just one or two...maybe three because those tortillas are on the dinky side.
