Description
Fish stick tacos are fun, quick, easy, and delicious. Crispy breaded fish sticks are topped with a homemade mango salsa and a drizzle of lime crema.
Ingredients
- 8 fish sticks, homemade or store bought
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 1/2 small red onion, diced
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced (optional)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 8 small tortillas, corn or flour
- 1 lime, wedged (for serving)
- sour cream or lime crema (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Prepare Homemade Fish Sticks and place on a parchment lined quarter sheet baking pan and apply cooking oil spray evenly over each stick to coat. This creates golden brown crusts during baking. Bake for 15 minutes until fully cooked through and golden brown. For store bought frozen fish sticks, bake according to package instructions.
- In a medium bowl, combine mango, bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro and stir until evenly mixed. Drizzle with lime juice and toss well to coat. Let the Mango Salsa sit for 5-10 minutes to allow all the flavors to infuse into each other.
- Heat the tortillas according to the package instructions, or heat in an ungreased skillet over medium-high heat for 30 seconds per side. You can also heat it directly on a gas burner for a few seconds to get char marks on the edges.
- Slice each fish stick into 1/2-inch pieces and add onto each tortilla. Top with mango salsa, a drizzle of sour cream or lime crema, and a squeeze of lime juice to taste, and serve.
Notes
How to store: Like all tacos, these are best eaten fresh and warm since reheating can be a bit of a task. However, if you have leftovers, store everything in separate containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
How to reheat: Reheat fish sticks in a 300F preheated oven or air fryer for 5-10 minutes until warmed through. You can reheat the tortillas the same way that you warmed them the first time. Then assemble, and enjoy.
