Deconstructed Fish Tacos with Avocado Cilantro Dressing

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Deconstructed fish tacos are the healthy, 21 Day Fix way to enjoy your Taco Tuesday. This salad has all of the Mexican flavors you love in tacos, without the excessive fat and calories. Top this delicious salad off with a drizzle of homemade avocado cilantro dressing!

Confession #51- The end of summer has me out of sorts more than usual this year.

You see, my baby is starting Kindergarten on Monday and I’m spending a lot of time wondering just how the heck this happened.

I’m a teary-eyed, emotional, mom-mess.

And I forgot to buy corn tortillas at the grocery store.

How does one shop for the ingredients to make Fish Tacos and forget corn tortillas?

To my surprise, this deconstructed fish tacos dinner was a delight!

Yes, it’s essentially a fish Taco salad, but that does not sound appealing.  At all. But this was delicious!  And a whole GREEN!  Yay!

And instead of the Cilantro Lime Yogurt Sauce that I usually make my tacos with, I made an Avocado Cilantro dressing that I found on one of my favorite blogs, A Pinch of Yum.

Such a happy, healthy dinner…perfect for the melancholy end of summer. And this mess of a momma.

You could cook this on the stove top, but I LOVE cooking fish outside.  No smell or cleanup!!

After dinner, leave the dishes a bit longer.  Hang on to summer as long as possible…

      Hi! I have the regular, but definitely thinking of upgrading. The original is awesome for zucchini and cucumbers, but I almost lost a finger making my butternut squash latkes! lol!

    These are incredibly good! I blackened the tuna with a jerk seasoning, so super spicy.
