Yummy Recipe Wednesday! (Fiery Fish Tacos with Crunchy Corn Salsa)

Welcome everyone to another Yummy Recipe Wednesday. Today I bring you a delicious spicy fish taco recipe. Fish tacos always remind me of the summer time and with warmer weather creeping into the Midwest, at least for this week, I felt this recipe was appropriate. Personally, I love Tilapia in fish tacos because of its mild flavor. The spiciness of the fish in these tacos is great and really works well with sweetness of the jicama. If you’ve never used jicama (the J is pronounced with an H sound), also known as a Mexican potato and available at every Wal-Mart I’ve ever been to, it has a slightly sweet flavor and the crunchy texture of an uncooked potato. Jicama, however, is meant to be eaten raw and not cooked. I’m not even sure what cooked jicama would taste like or if it would even be any good. I also recommend grilling the corn and bell pepper for this recipe in a little oil for a little charred flavor. Additionally, make sure to use 2 corn tortillas for each taco. If you only use one tortilla it will fall apart and all the filling will fall out on your plate and that’s no good. One last thing, instead of using Sour Cream as a topping on these tacos, you could instead use Fish Taco White Sauce which is amazing. Click HERE for a recipe here on my blog to make an excellent Fish Taco White Sauce. Give these tacos a try and let me know in the comments below what you thought.
