Fish tacos are my absolute favorite, and this recipe is the best!Balsamic Fish Tacos from www.dineanddish.net

A recipe you will definitley want on your menu, the Dine & Dish Menu Plan for the week.

I am obsessed, with a capital “O”, with fish tacos lately. I just can’t get enough of them… so much that they’ve made a weekly appearance on our table for the past several weeks. I’ve made fish tacos before, but those tacos contained fried fish. Now, my favorite form of fish tacos is with thick cuts of white fish, cheese, cabbage and tomatoes, all with a douse of Marzetti Simply Dressed Balsamic Dressing. Oh dear me… these fish tacos are my new “I need dinner on the table in 15 minutes” meal. So fresh and so good…if you haven’t made fish tacos at home, I beg of you to give these a chance. Once you enjoy fish tacos for the first time, I think Taco Tuesday might start having a whole new meaning at your house!

Our menu for this week is full of classic winter dishes. We had over a foot of snow dumped on us this past week and we’re supposed to get at least that much again tomorrow. We’re hunkering down, staying warm, and filling our bellies with comfort foods.

    I adore fish tacos and order them all the time!! I must admit – I usually only make them at home during grilling season but I’m loving this balsamic variation. Thanks for including my pork sandwiches in your meal plan – I hope everyone loves them!!

    I love the twist here. Fish tacos are some of my favorites mostly because of all the different spice blends and sauces that get added. I’m a condiment girl, what can I say?

    Love fish tacos and it looks like the balsamic created a really nice glaze on the fish! I just found a little hole in the wall that sells the BEST homemade tortillas here in philly so what better way to use them than a fish taco!

    I made this tonight and had some issues :(. My fish got mushy and my cabbage never really got soft, but more of a rubber texture. And, the red cabbage gave the fish a pinkish tint, which made it look undercooked. Even though the fish was good, the pink appearance and rubbery cabbage were not a good combo. What did I do wrong?

  3. […] Fish tacos can, of course, be finished in a series of ways. There are a crowd of adequate forms of fish, tortillas and add-ons. We cite tilapia for a some-more neutral deteriorate and relations inexpensiveness, however, we do advise that we splurge on fillets that weren’t farm-raised. We also suggest corn tortillas over flour — we’re not allergic or against to gluten, though a benevolence of a flour tortillas is distracting. We like to tip a fish tacos off with cabbage, diced tomatoes, avocado and a homemade chipotle immature cream. […]
