    Easy Baja Fish Tacos — Made with Fish Sticks!

    When you're a parent and your kids love plain fish stick and you need a little something more... these fish stick tacos are going to save the day. Even if you're not a parent, you can really save some time and prep work while still ending up with a delicious meal starting with fish sticks.

    What makes these Baja fish tacos?

    You'll love the "Baja" flavors of these fish tacos. The signature ingredients that make these Baja tacos are fish taco seasoning, avocado, slaw and creamy sauce. We're punching up the flavor even more with poblano peppers and adding some texture and a touch of sweetness with corn. A simple yet amazingly flavorful combination!

    ★ Ingredients You'll Need ★

    Baja Fish Stick Taco Ingredients

    Fish sticks (choose your favorite kind) rest on top of an easy yet tasty slaw mixture than includes avocado and corn as well as juices from lemon and lime. Why both? Well, lemon is a common compliment to fish and lime is a familiar pairing with taco flavorings. So together you're getting the best of both worlds.

    These tacos also have a few slices of poblano peppers. Poblano peppers have a complimentary flavor similar to a bell pepper but offer a mild kick as well. Perfect for tacos! So don't skip these.

    Finally, things get topped off with a simple creamy seasoned sauce. You can use mayonnaise or sour cream or a half and half mixture of both if you can't decide.

    Everything gets wrapped up in either one large soft tortilla or you can use two smaller ones if you don't want to have to man-handle your taco. A big, stuffed taco though, is kind of fun and a bit more unique so if you're serving guests, they may enjoy the surprise giant taco presentation. You choose.

    ★ How to Make this Recipe ★

    These delicious Baja fish stick tacos are super easy to make.

    ★ Tips & FAQs ★

    Lower your carbs — make a fish taco bowl!

    If you're looking to cut carbs, go ahead and leave off the soft tortilla. You can serve everything layered in a bowl. You'll still have a bit of carbs from the fish stick breading which is just enough. This makes a great lunch or dinner if you're trying to eat healthier.

    What kind of fish sticks work best for tacos?

    Really any fish sticks! You can opt for the beer battered fish sticks. Those are really excellent but even the most basic fish sticks work well and taste great with this recipe. So go with whatever brand or style fish you prefer, you can't go wrong.

    What seasoning is best with fish tacos?

    Look for fish taco seasoning which often includes citrus zest (like lime or lemon), and less salt, which enhances without overpowering. Fish taco blends may include cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne, but in more restrained amounts, sometimes with dill, cilantro, or even coriander for a beachy vibe.
    Beef/chicken seasoning can work but is usually heavier, sometimes with tomato powder or bouillon, which can overwhelm fish.
