These healthy fish tacos are fresh, filling, and totally tasty!
The worldwide web is an amazing place. In the 1 year and 6 months that I have been publishing this blog, I have met more fabulous people and gotten more encouragement and support than I’ve had for most of my life.
When I started this blog, it was supposed to keep me accountable. It was supposed to give me a record of what I was eating and what kinds of progress I was making.
To say it took on a life of its own, has been an understatement. But that’s a good thing! Because now, I actually feel my responsibility to this thing I have created. I feel like I really am being held accountable for what I eat and what I do by all the people who visit my blog or follow me through social media like Facebook and Instagram.
The people I’ve met through the blogging world are the most amazing and courageous people. They are my heroes. The people I aspire to be like. The people who have been where I’m at, and have beaten bad health down with a baseball bat. The people who glow with vivacity, kindness and an inner strength that is not easily come by.
One such woman is Erin at www.FitMamaTraining.com. Her inspirational story has been printed and hangs on my wall over my computer where I can stare at it every day as a reminder of where this journey will eventually take me. Because, if there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that, if you choose a path, and stick with it, you WILL eventually get to your destination.
Erin was gracious enough to share this amazing recipe with me to post here. Not only is it fantastically clean, but also a perfectly balanced and healthy meal. To say these are tasty is an understatement!
While I did not follow her recipe (below) exactly due to some dietary restrictions, I’m sharing the recipe with you here in full as she sent it to me. I know you’ll love it as much as I did. These will be a staple in my clean eating menu planning for many years to come.
Thanks Erin!

Yum! I’ve been on the lookout for recipes that my not-so-healthy-eating husband will enjoy. I think this is going to work well!
Sarah – Fabulous! I’d love to know what his reaction is. Guys and kids are usually the toughest critics! lol
They sound wonderful! Can’t wait to try the recipe!
Lynn – Please do! And let me know how you like them!
YUM – I make a very similar fish taco but I add avocado to my Greek yogurt and lime juice for the sauce with some hot sauce to spice it up!
Dawn – Oh yum! I’ll try that the next time I make these. Thanks!
YAY!! I’ve been waiting for this one! I do my weekly shopping on Sundays so this just made it to the top of next week’s menu ~ I’ll let you know how it goes! THANKS!
Zesty – Yes, please! I’m sure you’ll love them. But do let me know!
Awe! To say this made my day is a huge understatement. Congrats on your 41lbs down- you will meet and exceed your goal I’m sure. Especially with your taking on of the 1/2 marathon this year! I’m so proud to be any part of your journey! Thank you for your kind words. Your fan,. Erin
Erin – Thank you so much. You have no idea how big of an inspiration you are to me.
I am making these for dinner tomorrow thanks for the recipe. they sound amazing
Trude – Wonderful! I look forward to hearing what you think of them!
I’m eating these tonight for the second time this week! Definitely my new favorite meal. I prefer it without the yogurt sauce, but I thought you might want to know a side dish I made that is wonderful with these: Cut up an avocado, a tomato, & some red onion, and add some fresh cilantro, kosher salt, & pepper. Chill for a bit before serving. I’ve been eating that for a snack/meal just about every day lately & it is SO good! 🙂
Michelle – That sounds wonderful! Thanks for sharing that!
Love this fish taco recipe! I made it a few weeks ago and it was delicious. About to start cooking now so we can have them tonight too 🙂
Katie – Fabulous!!! I’m so happy you’re enjoying them! I love the cilantro mix that goes on top. My favorite part. It gives them such a fresh taste. It’s wonderful! Enjoy!
I absolutely loved this recipe! Tasty, fresh, quick to prepare and wonderfully satisfying! Thank you so much for sharing.
Chow Hound – You’re welcome!! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
Mscalla – I hope you enjoy them!
I love replacing the chili powder for avocado and chipotle chilis instead my favorite!
Miriam – Sounds yummy!
You could use a bit more of the spices next time. You can also use any type of dressing or salsa to put on top.
is it just a fresh wrap/tortilla or does it get toasted? since its a taco? and would green cabbage work ok.. or red? thankyou- i want to make this tonight 🙂
Laura – You can prepare it pretty much any way you want to. I “toasted” my tortilla on the stove top to make it more pliable, and I used green cabbage. But red will work too if you prefer it.
OK! YUMMY! Gotta try this one!! It looks beautiful! Do you take your own photos? Nice work!
Melissa – I do! Thanks!
My husband said he wanted fish tacos yesterday. He also said he would make them. That was my clue he meant traditional tacos with fish sticks (such as Gordon’s). I immediately went to Pintrest and found this recipe. He and my kids don’t go for super healthy but surprisingly they all ate them. My twins and husband skipped the cucumbers and the twins used salsa instead of the yogurt but my husband shocked me when he said they would be a recipe we’d keep. I try so hard to keep them healthy and I’m pleased to find your site.
Laura – Welcome! I’m so happy everyone enjoyed them! 🙂
