One of my absolute favorite foods is fish tacos. I often order them at restaurants but this fresh easy fish tacos recipe is great to make at home. It really is very simple to make but the fresh flavors are amazing! It is essential to use fresh cilantro in this recipe. The cilantro, tomatoes, and yogurt sauce make this one seriously yummy dish. I used corn tortillas in order for the recipe to be gluten-free. You can use flour tortillas though if you prefer them. These would be great for a simple dinner party with friends or just for your family. Be sure to check out all our easy party planning ideas.
