This was so good and so quick! Used swordfish chunks from the store and some yellow jack that we caught. Stinkiest thing was frying the tortillas, in my opinion- I can't stand the store-bought pre-fried things. Also had to make the sauce more interesting, so added some vietnamese chili-garlic sauce (and used yogurt instead of sour cream to cut down calories).

We love this recipe. I use chicken sometimes too if I don't want to stink up the house with fish. I also add other veggies on hand like sliced radishes or green onions. We also top it off with Frank's Hot Sauce & homemade salsa and that makes this dish delicious! So easy as well.

I was so excited to make this. The fish definitely needed more seasoning; but all the flavors were great.
