Fish Tacos

Growing up, I always thought that fish tacos sounded horrible! I think I had imagined something like a whole fish (eyes, skin, bones, fins, and all in a tortilla). The very thought grossed me out. But then when I actually got around to trying them, I loved them! So here is a homemade version that you can throw together very quickly. To be clear, this is less a recipe than instructions for combining already prepared ingredients, but I thought it turned to be both easy and delicious. Fish tacos will definitely be part of our meal rotation from now on. Frozen breaded fish fillets (whatever you like), baked according to the directions Chopped cabbage (I just used a prepared coleslaw mix) Salad dressing (a ranch dressing would probably work, but I used a Bolthouse Farms cilantro avocado yogurt dressing) Mango salsa (I used a commercial version) Flour or corn tortillas And to put this together, I simply cooked the fish fillets according to the directions and then cut them into smaller pieces...
