Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you prefer crunchy tacos, use Old El Paso® taco shells in place of the tortillas.
  • tip 2
    In a hurry? Omit the avocado mixture and top tacos with purchased guacamole. Look for pre-shredded lettuce in the produce section of larger supermarkets.
  • tip 3
    Oven Method: Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Follow step 1 above. Place fish in baking dish; drizzle with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Bake uncovered 15 to 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork. Continue as directed in recipe.
