Hello, Anne here from Beyond The Bayou Blog who often brings you tasty recipes. Today we will be trying such a tasty recipe: Baja Fish Tacos Recipe.
This recipe makes me recall the days when I worked in a nearby Mexican restaurant. It was the customer’s most preferred dish at that time because of its fresh and vibrant flavors, as well as its versatility. The Unique Selling Point of the restaurant was how they served this dish with Campfire Sauce. The restaurant also serves various versions of tacos like Beef Taco and Creamy Tacos.
Even I tried this recipe many times to impress the guests or sometimes at the demand of my own children as they also love them very much. Today, we will create this recipe again and try to get the best out of it.
