Fish Taco's


I love fish taco's.  Being crazy about cabbage might have something to do with it and I truly enjoy watching my kids eating vegetables while not grumbling.  This is a lazy meal since Trader Joe's now carries cut and vacuumed sealed frozen wild cod.  I have made my own corn tortilla's in the past with my fabulous tortilla press; however, I opted for store made this time.
