Fish Tacos with Lime-Cilantro
This is a fantastic recipe from my neighbor! ENJOY!!! Remember fish is loaded with Vitamin D. So if you are one of those people who really miss the sun in the winter months, EAT MORE FISH
Cumin, coriander, and paprika lend these fish tacos a delightfully warm, smoky flavor. They’re the perfect foundation for the zippy sour cream sauce. For an appealing variation, substitute peeled medium shrimp for the snapper or romaine in place of cabbage.
