Baja Fish Tacos
As I mentioned the other day, Hubby and I love going to Dorado for our fish taco fix. While we were eating our tacos and elote, we were chatting about how we should try to make them at home sometime. I commented that the tortillas make a big difference.
I was apparently feeling bold that day because I just walked up to the counter and started up a conversation with the manager (which is so not like me!) I assumed they made their own tortillas, but in fact they buy them from a place just north of Boston. Then I asked if I could buy some from him. He gave me a whole bag for just a few bucks!! I was very excited and started planning out our meal on the walk home.
We decided to replicate our Dorado meal. I served these fish tacos with some delicious elote and black beans served over rice. We will definitely be having fish tacos at home more often!

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Yum, this looks fabulous! I used to always make stuff like this for quick breakfasts (and pour them into muffin cups) but I’ve sort of forgotten. I need to do that again!
Adding this to long list of things to make. Scott’s favorite food of all time is quiche, so this probably gets bumped to the top!
Perfect combination 🙂
Yes I’ve done that with a muffin pan too. Works great for lunches during the week.
Steph – I hope Scott enjoys. OR, you guys can come here and I’ll make it for him 😉
This looks sooo good. Nice for a Sunday breakfast!
