Special Precautions and Tips:
- To ensure the fish is cooked through, check for doneness by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If it flakes easily, it's ready.
- If you don't have taco seasoning, you can create your own by combining chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, and salt.
- For a healthier option, use whole-wheat tortillas and low-fat or nonfat cheese.
- Serve the tacos with a variety of toppings and sauces to allow guests to customize their tacos to their liking.
