When I need something easy to serve the whole family, I often rely on tacos.  Kind of like eating something from a stick, all of my boys love dinner if it comes in a taco shell.  And while it sometimes surprise me to see them try something new just because it’s in a taco, I’m NOT complaining!

Feel free to mix and match the ingredients to suit the tastes of your family.  I love these Blackened Fish Tacos with shrimp and peppers.  Topped with quick-pickled onions, fresh salsa and cotija cheese, it’s a winning combination.  This recipe also works well with cod or tilapia.  And, if you’re not into seafood, try it with chicken instead!
