California Grilled Fish Tacos

Being a food blogger has its perks! We get opportunities to try all sorts of products and then we get to share them with you! I tend to be picky about what items I’m willing to promote on this blog because they not only have to be tasty, they have to be healthy AND they have to be practical and useful. I don’t use many processed or packaged foods because I prefer to use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Sometimes, though, it’s not always practical to make the item yourself. Sometimes it makes more sense to grab the pre-made item. And, when I find items like this I get really excited because that makes the process quicker and easier!

I received a package of La Tortilla Factory White Whole Wheat Mini Soft Wraps when I was at Camp Blogaway and I just loved them! Not only are they soft and crisp up nicely, they are only 1 Points+ each! I immediately thought of the SoCal standard, the amazing grilled fish taco. Now I LOVE to make fish tacos. It’s one of my favorite meals of all time. Nothing says summertime, beach and California quite like it. You can go all over Southern California searching for the best fish taco or you can just make your own!

This recipe is incredibly simple and it’s a fun meal to share with a group. Everyone gets to assemble their own taco with their own favorite ingredients. Kids love it!
