Tacos are one my favorite foods, for a lot of reasons, but mostly because they can literally be whatever you want. This makes it an easy thing to throw together on the fly, and you end up with recipes like this one, which now happens to be a favorite. There are a few surprising ingredients in this that give it amazing flavor. These aren’t necessarily the most authentic tacos you’ve ever had, but they are definitely delicious.
Fish tacos are usually made with white fish because its mild flavor takes most tacos seasonings well, but I chose salmon for these. It’s a more hearty, flavorful fish. After cubing it, I seasoned it with Ava’s Favorite Burger seasoning, one of the seasonings I got in my Ava Jane’s Kitchen spice subscription. It’s a perfect blend of garlic and spices, and it’s great for more than burgers. After that, I tossed the fish in hot sauce to give it a well rounded heat, then pan fried the cubes in Ava Jane’s Kitchen Avocado Oil.
Afterwards, I wanted something to compliment the savory heat, so I made a crunchy cilantro lime slaw with creamy Greek yogurt to tame the heat. Some avocado cubes rounded it all out, and when enclosed in a charred corn tortilla, it was taco perfection.
These would be amazing with some homemade margaritas, so the next Taco Tuesday, skip the standard tacos, and try these. You will not be disappointed!

Hi, I have Wild Caught Alaskan Salmon, in 5 ounce cans, which is already cooked Salmon. Could you please give me a little advice how to proceed on this basis for these yummy tacos? I did order you soecial Salt!!!!
Hi — since the salmon you have is already cooked, I would drain it, and just toss with the seasoning and hot sauce. Then just add it to your tacos and top with whatever you like.
