Fish and Bell Pepper Soft Tacos - Andrea MeyersFollow Me on Pinterest

One of the best ways to get my boys to eat fish is to put it in tacos. They devour Mexican food anyway, so why not throw some healthy fish in the mix? Add plenty of fresh summer vegetables, and we have a meal in a very short amount of time, especially when they all pitch in and help prepare. Sometimes I throw in some taco seasoning, but I also like fresh, clean flavors with fish, so this recipe just has garlic and pepper for seasoning the fish, and that allows the vegetables and lime to shine through.

I created this fish taco recipe as part of the new Old El Paso website and their summer Farmer’s Market. The site has many recipes with new twists on old favorites and plenty of fresh produce. Peppers are coming in at farmer’s markets and garden, so take advantage of all the colorful peppers and other summer produce while it’s still here for a few more weeks.

Recipe Notes

Fish cooks quickly in a hot skillet, making these fish tacos a fast and easy meal. Just prepare the vegetables while the fish cooks, then wrap sliced fish and vegetables in soft flour tortillas.
