Season your fish and put it in the slow cooker with tomatoes and onions. When you are ready to eat, flake the fish and put it all into a serving bowl.
Put out your favorite add ins....I opened a bag of slaw mix, some shredded cheese, sour cream and a sour cream and siracha mixture for those who like a little more spice.
Not only are these delicious but they are also very heart healthy and nutritious. I adapted them slightly from a recipe found in Eating Well magazine.

I haven't had a fish taco in FOREVER! I blame it on COVID...because that's usually something that I would get at a restaurant. Perhaps it's time to suck it up and make my own!
ReplyDeleteEasy peasy Colleen.
DeleteFish in the slow cooker! I never would have thunk it! This looks like such a fun and delicious meal.

ReplyDeleteI think you will be happy with how they turn out Sid.
DeleteOnce upon a time, my sister mentioned fish tacos to me (it was a long time ago) and I looked at her like she had two heads. Fish in tacos did not compute. I have since bought in! I love how easy your tasty dish is, Wendy!
