THE ULTIMATE FISH TACOS

The Ultimate Fish Tacos image

This recipe is my favorite meal to prepare. Adding my own personal touch to the marinade makes my fish tacos pop with flavor. I warm corn tortillas on the grill and add salsa, cilantro, purple cabbage and fresh squeezed lime. -Yvonne Molina, Moreno Valley, California
