During the summer months, I love how easy it is to eat foods full of flavor and nutrition. My daughter loves vegetables and has recently taken a love for avocados. There seem to be avocados on our counter all the time for her to snack on. Since we have the ingredients for fresh homemade guacamole and love to cook on the grill, grilled fish tacos with guacamole are a regular dinner in the summer at our house.
Grilled fish tacos with guacamole is a simple grilled fish recipe that is full of all the summer flavors for a refreshing fish taco with homemade guacamole.
Grilled Fish Tacos with Guacamole
If you love avocados like we do, then you will love the new Avocados From Mexico recipe website "Recipes From Avocado Lovers", where you can submit your favorite avocado recipes and share you avocado love with other foodies like you. Since we both love fish too, I created some fish tacos.
This recipe is simple to make. I started with a 4-5 flounder filets. You can use halibut, tilapia, or whatever white fish you have on hand.
Thaw the filets out, remove from the package and put into a gallon Ziploc bag. I then juiced two lemons over the filets.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes before putting on the grill. I spray aluminum with cooking spray and then put the fish on the aluminum foil. Salt and pepper the fish before putting on the grill.
While the fish was still marinated, I got started on the guacamole.
Of course, the star of the guacamole was the avocado from Mexico.
I started by pitting and mashing two avocados in a medium bowl. I followed that up by filling the bowl with diced tomatoes, onions, peppers, garlic and cilantro.
Squeeze a lime over top of the ingredients and stir together. I add salt and pepper to taste as well. Season to your preferences.
I like my guacamole chunky. If you don't like it this chunky, cut your veggies smaller or even give a pulse or two in the food processor.
Once the fish is grilled and guacamole is made, it is time to build the tacos. Start with two small corn or flour tortillas. I like to have two in case one tortilla breaks. Instead of lettuce, I then add bagged cabbage coleslaw mix to the tortillas followed by the guacamole and then the fish.
