Simple and Clean BAJA Fish Tacos!

Warm weather has arrived and Summer is quickly approaching!  This means that our family meals can start to get a little bit "lighter," but we don't want to compromise FUN! My husband and I LOVE our taco nights! Something about the change-up from heavier, saucier meats to a citrusy, flaky fish--seems seasonally appropriate to me when Spring and Summer set in. So, here's a very simple FISH TACO recipe that it sure to please the whole family with minimal time and effort.  Often times, I have no problem using frozen fillets for this meal--typically tilapia, flounder, or cod.
I hope you enjoy it!
