I've never felt so healthy stuffing my face to the gills! Get it?...Gills?... Fish tacos?... I'll see myself out.

Although I haven't made this yet, I know that it'll be fabulous! Is there a cheese sprinkled on top in your photos? If so, what kind? Thanks!

I am obsessed with Tacos! instead of fish I will use tofu and try it out. :)

Oh my! That sauce sounds delicious too. These tacos are perfect for a tasty dinner, yum!

I   love fish tacos, and enjoy trying different versions of them.  Your fish looks perfect, and the tacos are mouth watering! I   can't wait to try them!

Whenever we go out to eat and I see fish tacos on the menu I order them. Love! Love! Love them. I haven't made them at home but your instructions are so detailed it makes it look as easy as pie or tacos. LOL! We always have fish in our freezer - I'm making tacos this week.

I love that these tacos use baked fish. It makes it so quick and simple the prepare, and the flavors are delicious. Thanks for sharing!

That fish looks so perfectly cooked...and that can be challenging in the oven. And I love teh seasoning mixture too. Adding this one to my list for sure

Love love fish tacos on hot summer afternoon. It's my kind of comfort food. Baked fish, that irresistible sauce , what's not to like. This is perfect summer meal!

My family loves this recipe!
I had always wanted to try fish tacos. We live in Missouri, near ponds &amp; lakes, and we love to fish.  But, we have freshwater fish.  I used 2 lb of "flathead" catfish for this recipe.  I found that the catfish filets needed to bake about 8 min longer than recommended.  The fish was wonderful!  It was flaky and seasoned perfectly.  I'm making this recipe again tonight!
Thanks again!

Made this tonight for supper. I used our pan fish (Bluegill &amp; Crappie) we caught earlier this summer. It was so good with the pico de gallo! Thanks!

These Chili Cheese Tacos blend two types of comfort food in one!

Chili Cheese Tacos

lb uncooked 99% fat turkey breast

onion

garlic

kidney beans

tomatoes

tomato sauce

salt

cayenne pepper

(6 inch) tortillas (I use Mission Extra Thin Yellow Corn Tortillas)

4.5 oz 50% reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese (shredded (I used Cabot))

Mist a large saute pan with cooking spray and bring to medium heat. Add the ground turkey and use a wooden spoon to break it up into small pieces as it cooks. When the turkey is breaking up and almost browned, add the onions and garlic and stir together. Continue to cook another few minutes until the turkey is browned and onions are softened.

Add the kidney beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt, and cayenne to the turkey mixture and stir together until well combined. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes to thicken and allow the flavors to combine.

*Warm your tortillas in small batches between two damp paper towels for 20-30 seconds in the microwave to make them softer and more pliable. Lay out the tortillas and fill each with a ¼ cup of chili. Sprinkle ¼ ounce of shredded cheese over the chili on each taco and serve.

*If not serving all 18 tacos at once you can just store the unused chili, cheese, and tortillas separately and build the tacos as needed. The chili can be frozen.
