This recipe is just awesome, we've literally had it once a week since I found it. On WW it's 2 points per taco made as shown (without guac). I use any whitefish on sale, and scallions vs onions as the onions were a little strong. Very important to marinade the fish or use a dry rub. Keep extra lime wedges to squeeze on each taco. Delish!

Made this with Tilapia seared it with EVO salt and pepper and baked as directed in the recipie the fish came out perfect. I made a Recipe #18942 and spread it on the tortillas then added the fish, topped with cabbage slaw, my homemade salsa. I only had 1 small avacado, not enough for guacomle so i just sliced it up and topped the taco off with it. Thank U so much for this recipie it is definately a keeper!!

I followed some of the suggestions in the reviews. I marinated the fish in lime juice, old Bay seasoning and cumin. I didn't have cucumbers and didn't miss them. I used Coleslaw mix that was already chopped. I fried the fish in a non stick skillet with 1 tablespoon of oil. It came together very fast and it was as good as restaurant fish tacos. I doubt I will order it in a restaurant any more because I can make it so quick and healthy at home. Great recipe.

Oh my goodness! Sooo good! I substituted tilapia, as it's the only fish my hubs will eat. These tacos had such great flavor! I used 2 cups of cole slaw mix and added a lot more lime juice and some sliced scallions instead of white onion. Fresh cilantro is the key to the slaw. We will make this often.

Super tasty and a bargain on the calories! Quick and easy, too. Used Mahi mahi with a chipotle rub, grilled on foil on very hot grill. Substituted a small amount of red onion for the white onion and swapped some minced jalapeno for the cucumber. Gave the corn tortillas a quick spray with olive oil and grilled for a few seconds to crisp up just slightly. Thanks so much for sharing!
