This easy recipe is a delicious option when the craving for fish tacos strike. We call for mahi mahi, a less expensive alternative to halibut, but you can use any firm white fish you like. If you prefer your tortillas crisp, preheat the oven to 300°F. Coat a cookie sheet with cooking spray, place the tortillas on the pan, and coat the tortillas with cooking spray. Bake until the tortillas start to crisp but are still pliable. Or if an open flame is available, set the tortilla on a flame and toast until it starts to char, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, flip and char the second side. Make this recipe your own: Top the tacos with chopped scallions, fresh cilantro, chopped tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, or sliced avocado.
