Easy Peasy Fish Tacos

Adapted by Delish

I am always thinking of ways to get some healthy omegas onto my plate. Omega 3 Fatty Acids are a type of fat that is essential to your brain and nervous system. They are also good for your heart because they lower triglycerides and blood pressure, help keep plaque from clogging your arteries, and help prevent the development of abnormal heart rhythms. Sources of Omega 3’s include fatty fish like Mackerel, herring, salmon, sardines, anchovies and halibut. More options include flax seeds,chia seeds and walnuts. If you want to take a deeper dive into all things essentail fatty acids ask the scientists here.

Nutrition experts say we should eat rich and healthy sources of Omega 3 like fish several times per week. If you find that a challenge as I do, here is  my favourite way to supplement my diet with Omega 3.

What better way is there to to sneak in some good fat into our diet than with fish tacos. This recipe is inspired by the online foodie web source Delish.  I adapted it by replacing the mayo with yogurt and used kale instead of coleslaw and  I switched up the cod for halibut. I opted for these sprouted corn tortillas. I love the flavour of these!!! You can taste the corn as they are made from freshly sprouted 100% organic whole kernel corn.   Drop me a line and let me know if you plan to give these tacos a try and how you like them!  Happy taco night !
