Fish tacos are my favorite kind of tacos, and I have an easy recipe to make them cheap at home. My personal choices for fish are halibut, tilapia, mahi mahi, snapper, cod, bass and catfish, as they are inexpensive and mild flavored. You can grill, steam, or mix them with a flavorful batter to fry. The flavor of the fish adds zest to the dish, but what takes center stage is the toppings. A mixture of strong blends from onions and chiles, tangy mayonnaise, citrusy lemon and the mild flavor of fish balances the taste.

Fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids that keep our brain and heart healthy. When you mix them in tacos, they become so special.

Fich Taco Ingredients

Buy seafood in a fish market to get hold of the freshest fish catch of the day. While at it, go shop for freshly picked veggies from the farm and the other ingredients for your fish taco.

Cabbage slaw

  • 3 cups green cabbage (300 g), shredded
  • ½ cup red onion (75 g), diced
  • 1 cup sour cream (230 g)
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Tacos

  • 4 tilapia fillets
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, ground
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 16 corn tortillas

Garnish

  • cilantro, to taste
  • lime, to taste

Preparation

The three components I consider most important in fish tacos are the fish, cabbage, and the cream. Other ingredients are adaptable, but these three are inseparable.

  1. Cannonball or purple cabbage works well for fish tacos. Take time to shred the cabbage as thinly as you can.
  2. Dice the onions and extract juice from the lemon.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine cabbage, onions, lime juice, sour cream, and salt. Place in the chiller before serving.
  4. Turn the stove to medium heat cooking 2 tilapia fillets for about 8 minutes flipping it when the color turns brown. Don’t overcook, it will leave a burnt taste. Repeat procedure for the remaining fillets.
  5. Break the fillets into bite-size pieces with a fork.
  6. Heat the tortillas in a pan over high heat.
  7. Assemble the tacos with the cabbage slaw and tilapia.
  8. Top it off with cilantro and lime.
  9. Want to kick up the healthy factor up a notch? Drop some CBD oil or even THC tincture onto the tacos.
  10. Bon appétit.

Fish Tips for Fish Tacos

Almost any type of fish tastes well with fish tacos depending on your preparation. Fish meat that is white, flaky, and mild flavor is popular among recipes. Along these lines halibut, haddock tilapia, mahi mahi, snapper, cod, bass and catfish fall under this category.

But the type of fish hangs on the kind of fish tacos you’re making, whether it’s fried, steamed, or grilled. Thinner slices will cook faster and taste better with marinade.

Fried fish tacos

Cod and tilapia fries well when battered and the mild taste complements the crunchy, spicy, creamy ingredients in the corn tortilla. Other fish that cook well in the deep fryer includes pollock, haddock, striped bass, snapper, and catfish.

Grilled fish tacos

If you don’t want oily food, you can grill your fish. Season or marinade the fish to spike the flavor as it turns brown and crisp on the grill. A fish that won’t break under high heat is a good choice. Aside from cod and tilapia consider tuna, salmon, and swordfish which are fattier. Halibut with steak-like meat is another option.

Avoid overcooking, fish cooks quickly and cooks a bit more off the grill. When the meat starts to flake with the fork, the fish is ready.

Taco Toppings Are King

The magic of tacos come from good toppings. A bit of trial and error on your ingredients will turn your fish tacos from good to great.

The traditional cabbage and pico de gallo are must-haves. Pico de gallo is made with fresh tomatoes, cilantro, onions and jalapeño. Although it has the same ingredients as salsa, the latter is saucy with more liquid. The ingredients of salsa can be cooked, roasted, and uncooked spices, tomatoes, pepper and others. The ingredient of pico de gallo does not vary.

You’ll love fish tacos with chopped avocados and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese with a squeeze of lemon to taste.

You Can’t Go Wrong with Fish Tacos

Fish tacos are healthy, ingredients are fresh, and rich in flavors. Easy to prepare goodies for people always on the go. In less than 30 minute you can concoct your favorite toppings loaded with cream and top it off with cheese, if you will.

Happy International Women's Day to all the women c Happy International Women's Day to all the women crushing it despite getting less pay, less startup funding, less everything when it comes to business. Let's do more than recognize women.
In 2023, it's time to:
*Buy from women-owned businesses
*Give women a seat at the table, preferably the board
*End all male speaking panels
*Invest in women startups, including those focused on serving women
*Include more women in clinical trials
*End toxic work cultures
*Support paid maternity leave policies
*Fill the wage gap between men and women
*Donate to nonprofits serving women
*Let women take time off of work for painful periods without stigma or penalty
*Work harder to specifically include and apply all of these principles to women from marginalized groups such as black women, disabled women, LGBTQ women, and females identifying as nonbinary, genderfluid, or genderqueer.
And so. much. more.

No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children trick or treating on Halloween. Those reports you hear on the news simply aren’t true! ⁣
⁣
However, if you are attending a Halloween party for adults, ask if the candies, goodies, or drinks are special or infused! Edibles are more common at parties as an alternative to alcohol, especially in states where the plant has been legalized for both recreational & medical use.⁣
⁣
If you’re not used to consuming, try a small piece or half a piece, drink plenty of water, and make sure you have a safe place to sit if needed. And always call a rideshare aka Uber or Lyft home!⁣
⁣
Happy Halloween! 🎃💀👻⁣

Which is your favorite Medicinal Mushr00m?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's more important than ever to take mushr00m supplements. Here's a little about how my favorite four mushr00ms work:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Lion’s Mane Mushr00ms: great for improving focus and memory. Lion's mane promotes neurogenesis, or birth of new brain cells.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Cordyceps Mushr00ms: great for fighting fatigue and increasing length of your workouts. It's especially helpful for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue patients.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Turkey Tail Mushr00ms: great for supporting your immune system. Clinical trials have looked at its role in fighting cancer.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Reishi Mushr00ms: what can't the queen of mushr00ms do? It fights cancer, boosts the immune system, improves mood, levels blood sugar, and promotes heart health.⁣⁣

9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a da 9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a day to celebrate them?
Well in the United States & many parts of the world, they are still illegal, similar to another misunderstood therapeutic green plant we celebrate on 4/20. 
I've worked hard over the years in Denver & many other states to help decriminalize shr00ms and help people access information on how to use them for medical, spiritual, and stress relief purposes. I suggest following @decriminalizenature & @doubleblindmag for deeper info.
How are you celebrating today? ❤️ 🍄 ❤️

I’m not the only one, right? 😜 👩🏻‍🔬 💚
As a neuroscientist, I put out the first book on the potential causes of endocannabinoid deficiency and how to balance your ECS with or without plant medicine. 
From stress to medications to diet to your genes, there are so many ways your ECS go go haywire. The fact that so many people respond to plant medicine is likely because so many of us have severe imbalances.
