These are seriously delicious!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I can't understand the negative reviews. Maybe they just are not used to Chipotle Chiles in Adobo! I love them and even add... a bit more than the recipe calls for since I love the spicy. I've been making these tacos for a few years now and they never get old. About the only change I make from Ellie's recipe is that I use whole wheat flour tortillas instead of the corn tortillas since I prefer a softer taco. Read more

Superb!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These tacos absolutely delicious and are so light and healthy. I always serve them when my whole extended family is together... and just put all the ingredients out in bowls for everyone to make there own. Fresh corn is an absolute must and a little guacamole is great with it s well. Don't change a thing...they are perfect! Everyone always wants the recipe!Read more

Excellent fish modify the sauce
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The fish was great for fish tacos. Simple flavors that don't compete with the taco fillings. Suggest substituting the... sauce with either Ellie's or Emerald's tomatillo salsa.Read more
