Gluten Free Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa
Gluten Free Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa
- Freshi’s in South Lake Tahoe, CA (they are amazing!)
- Woody’s in Golden, CO
- Frying Dutchmen Food Truck in the South Sound area (Tacoma, WA) This food truck is not dedicated gf, but I ate there several times successfully.Â
Fish tacos originated in Baja, Mexico. Having lived in California for most of my life, they are a normal staple around here.Â
However, finding them gluten free is the true challenge since they are typically battered and fried.Â
Ingredients needed to make Easy Healthy Fish Tacos
- Gluten Free Flour, or a gluten free starch such as: Tapioca Starch, Arrowroot Starch, Potato Starch or Corn Starch.
- Firm White Fish: My favorite to use is Cod, but Tilapia will work too. To save money I buy frozen fish from Trader Joes that is already in pieces. It’s half the price and saves me time because I don’t have to cut them!
- Oil to Fry: I like avocado or coconut, but you can use your favorite frying oil.Â
- Mango Salsa Ingredients: Mango, Tomato, Onion, Cilantro, Salt and Pepper.
- Spicy Mayo Ingredients: Mayo, Hot Sauce, Dairy Free Milk, Red Pepper Flakes, Salt, Pepper, Granulated Garlic.
- Fresh Cabbage or Coleslaw if you desire.
- Your favorite Gluten Free Tortillas: I use corn for most of us and Siete for my son who has a corn allergy.Â
