One thing that also changed for me this past year is how I shop. I’ve used the Curbside Pickup option a lot and I LOVE IT! For this recipe, I stocked up on everything I needed at Walmart. In particular, my Gorton’s Seafood. I got the Crunchy Breaded Fish Fillets. You can also use the Beer Battered Fish Fillets or the Popcorn Shrimp. All work really well with this recipe.

With every meal, I always try to have a good balance of protein, carbs, and vegetables. Using Gorton’s Fish Fillets is an excellent source of protein and can be an easy replacement for beef and chicken.

For this recipe, you will need…

Gorton’s Fish Fillets (Crunchy or Beer Battered)

8 -10″ Flour Tortillas

Shredded Cheese

Lettuce

Onions

Tomatoes

Avocados or Guacamole

Jalapenos

Sour Cream

Mayonaise

Limes

Taco Seasoning

Canned Black Beans (optional)

THE SAUCE

The first thing I do is make my yummy Taco Cream Sauce. It’s so good, but needs to be refrigerated for a little while so the sooner you make it, the better. You can even make it the day before if you’d like.
