I've been posting my weekly dinner menus on the Pen + Paper Flowers Instagram feed and I had so many requests asking for my Fish Tacos recipe, I decided to post it here on the blog.
They are quite easy to put together and pack quite a flavor explosion with every bite.
And trust me when I say I love preparing simple meals that can be altered to fit everyone's dietary preferences without having to make completely separate meals. This meal is a perfect example of that. I eat mine in lettuce cups (as pictured) to keep them whole30 approved for myself but Ella and Jay prefer flour tortillas.
There's a delicious citrus dressing used to garnish the tacos and a refreshing easy coleslaw you can use as garnish and a side dish.
This is definitely a family favorite of ours...light, clean, refreshing and satisfying.
I sure hope you'll try it and let me know if it becomes a family favorite for you too.

NOTES:
My favorite non-leeching slow cooker for even healthier eating: https://amzn.to/2IoZJUt
Pot Roast - use your choice of chuck, top blade, brisket, round, - I've even used pork shoulder.
Depending on which meat you choose, you can shred it when it's done cooking or slice it for serving. (as shown in recipe image)
Carrots - I use the long carrots as they tend to be sweeter. You can of course use the pre-cut mini carrots for convenience.
