Easy, Healthy Fish Tacos

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, but I was in Mexico enjoying the most incredible vacation with my some of my family and two of my dearest friends. And this parrot.

One of the things I love the most about going to Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point), is that it’s right on the Sea of Cortez. The beaches are beautiful and the seafood couldn’t be fresher. While I’m there, I try to order as much shrimp and fish as possible.

Now that I’m home, my seafood craving hasn’t come to realize that I’m back in the desert. No Sea of Cortez here. Just a serious lack of delicious seafood. I can, though, get great tilapia fairly easily. So to quell my craving for seafood, I decided to make my super easy fish tacos. Just throw together some rice and black beans and you’ve got yourself (and any lucky dinner companions) a quick and healthy meal. Buen provecho!
