Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Fish tacos typically are made with corn tortillas instead of flour, but you can also use small flour tortillas. Top these flavorful fish tacos with any of your favorite condiments: shredded lettuce or cabbage, chopped tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, avocados or fresh cilantro. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
  • tip 2
    Fish tacos originated more than 25 years ago in San Felipe, a Mexican town on the Gulf of California. Because fresh fish was so plentiful, they wrapped it inside tortillas.
