Fish tacos
Since my kids like fish, I thought I'd give fish tacos a try for today's Dinner Together. I found this recipe on the blog A Beautiful Mosaic, where you should go to find out how to make homemade mango salsa to go with these (I cheated and used store-bought).
My only problem with this dish wasn't a problem with the recipe. In a classic mommy moment, I couldn't find the jalapeno for the marinade.
I know I bought it. But several searches of the veggie drawer, the rest of the fridge, the closet where we keep the plastic bags, and even the car came up empty.
Who knows where that pepper is, but it didn't end up in our tacos. Fortunately, they didn't suffer for the omission...
The fish grilled nicely and quickly, and the kids ate well (though they tended to prefer the fish outside the tortilla. Fine by me.)
