Instructions
- Before you begin, wash your hands, surfaces, utensils, tops of cans, and produce, if needed.
- Remove fish from package. Pat with paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Using a fork, whisk together oil, lemon juice, and taco seasoning mix in a medium bowl until well-blended. Add fish and stir gently to evenly coat fish in mixture. Pour into a large frying pan.
- Evenly cook over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes, or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Remove from heat. Using a fork, flake fish into small pieces.
- Fill tortillas with fish mixture. Drain canned tomatoes.

Tips

- Use your preferred taco shell to customize the taco exactly to your tastes. Try a corn shell or a whole wheat tortilla.
- Use your favorite white fish, such as tilapia, cod, or white bass!
