3. To fry tortillas: heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a pan and fry tortillas until golden (about 2-3 minutes over medium-high heat).

4. After finishing the tortillas, place fish in the pan and cook until easily flaked with a fork, turning twice (about 9 minutes).

5. To assemble tacos: place fish pieces in the center of tortillas with desired amounts of tomatoes/salsa, black beans, and lettuce; drizzle with dressing. To serve, roll tortilla around fillings, and garnish with cheese if desired.

This was pretty tasty! Frying the tortillas first made them too crispy, so I won’t do that again, but it was definitely something different to have for lunch and I liked it!

This was very good. Felt like I was at a seaside cafe eating fresh fish tacos. Sadly, we don’t have many seaside cafes on the farm in Iowa. But these made me forget that for a moment! Thanks for a great recipe.
