Great Grilled Fish Tacos

June 3, 2011

Fish tacos are originally from baja California, but you do need to be there to enjoy them.  Typically, the bits of fish are deep fried but this grilled version cuts calories without sacrificing taste.  I would use a firm white fish that will hold together while grilling, I like tilapia or halibut.  You can make these tacos indoors on a stove top grill or on the outdoor barbecue, either way they will be delicious.  Serve these tacos with tortilla chips and a light beer, and you've got yourself a true baja meal.
