Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

Prepare as directed, using your favorite flaky white fish, such as tilapia or halibut.

Substitute

For milder flavor, substitute chipotle chili powder for the ancho chili powder.

Excellent! My husband does not like fish very much, but loves this recipe. Have made it numerous times and the flavors are just wonderful.

We have a whole family of fish haters, but everyone LOVED this! I added some fresh lime juice, diced serrano pepper, and A1 steak sauce for a little more zest! I also used lettuce and sliced almonds with the cabbage mixture. DELISH!

This recipe really suprised me how good it was, and fish is a tough sell in my house. It won over the seafood hater.

The tacos came out very good. My son sprinkled hot sauce on his. My husband seasoned his with salt and pepper. I liked them just as they were.

I don't know what it was but they were not that good. I did exactly what the recipe called for and it had no flavor! The fish looked great and smelled great but when you bit into it, there was nothing. It needed more spice in my opinion. I may try them again sometime but add something to it or try another type of fish.

The dressing is delicious. My husband is not a fish fan, but he loves these. We like to use tostadas, lettuce, and mahi mahi. My 3 and 5 year old gobble them up.

my husband always raves about fish tacos in Pasadena, CA and was never able to find any in IL that came close. I made these, substituting chipotle chile seasoning powder as I was unable to find the other. He LOVES THEM!!! We will definitely make them again.
