Fish Tacos
Ingredients

- Sprinkle fish fillets with 1 tsp of chili powder. You can also cook this on the grill (make sure you lightly cover the grate with oil using a paper towel and tongs). Another option is to cook it on an indoor grill (which is what we often do). Cook for around 8 – 9 minutes, until it is cooked through (fish will flake easily with a fork.
