Nothing says spring like a good fish taco. Who doesn’t love a good taco or “Taco Tuesday”…right? I have put a spin on the traditional version and developed a Fish Taco Bowl that is both Paleo and Whole30 compliant. Are you jumping for joy yet? If not, you should be because this is such a easy, savory and delicious dish that brings all the traditional flavors of a real taco.
Anytime I crave comfort food, I always try to put a spin on it to align with my Paleo lifestyle. Most of the time, my new creations turn out just as good as the real thing. These bowls serve as a complete meal that is filled with all the flavors of spring. It is fresh, light and the perfect lunch or dinner. My husband is not a fish fan and really can’t stand when I make anything involving fish. This dish is the one exception, he loves this meal and will actually request it on a regular basis.
This bowl is filled with all the healthy goods, cod, cauliflower rice, fresh tomatoes, jalapenos, cabbage, Teri from No Crumbs Left, marinated onions, lime juice and cilantro. Cauliflower rice is the perfect rice substitute for this dish. My secret to make this rice incredible, is to add cilantro and lime juice. It brightens the whole dish up and pairs nicely with the cod. In addition, I am obsessed with adding No Crumbs Left, marinated onions. We keep these babies in a glass container in our fridge weekly. They are out of this world delicious and really kick up the flavor notch in this dish.
If you a craving some comfort food, give this dish a try. It can be whipped up in no time and serves as a great comfort meal when you are craving all things “TACOS.” I am sure your family will request this vibrant dish on a regular basis.
