It’s my favorite day of the week – Taco Tuesday! Let’s eat some fish tacos.

Let’s get right down to it because tacos are probably most definitely one of my favorite foods. Once I made a different taco variation every single day for an entire week just for the heck of it and I LOVED IT. Every single second of it.

Fish tacos happen to be one of the most wonderful things on the planet. <— That’s actually scientifically proven. I can send you the data if you’re really interested, or you can just trust me. Just trust me.

These tacos are stupid easy to make, but sometimes I am real lazy and in those cases I go to one of two places in Chicago – I love the crispy fish taco from Antique Taco and the raw ahi tuna poke taco from BIG & littles. Srsly. If you live in Chicago and haven’t tried either of those yet, you must.

Like, stop reading this blog and go. Right now. I mean not riiiiight now, please finish reading and then go.

Have you guys gotten into the cauliflower fad – Cauliflower pizza crust? Cauliflower steaks? Cauliflower rice? I tried the pizza crust thing and I just can’t get into it. The crust is the best part of the pizza! And I honestly haven’t tried cauliflower steaks yet… not so sure about it. But I am WAY into cauliflower rice.

And this slaw? So easy (I cheated and bought a bag of cabbage slaw from Trader Joe’s) and the dressing is a simple mix of Greek yogurt and lime juice.

Seriously, this is what fish taco dreams are made of.

You won’t be sorry if you celebrate Taco Tuesday with these fish tacos! If you make this recipe and post on social media, use the hashtag #imhungrybynature for a chance to be featured!  Please follow along!
