Delicious fish tacos in under 30 minutes. Taco night just got more awesome!
Whoever invented Taco Tuesday is our hero. Taco night is always the best! Kids love tacos, parents love tacos. They’re easy to customize for each family member — if you love onions but your husband does not, it’s easy to add them to yours and skip them on his. It’s fairly easy to sneak in a few extra veggies on tacos — you can hide all kinds under cheese or inside salsa! 🙂
Today, we have a new taco recipe to share with you. Sweet Kale Fish Tacos are loaded with nutritious veggies. And from start to finish they take just 30 minutes to make! From a mom’s perspective, they’re already a win. Your family will dig them because they’re so darn good!
These tacos have a secret ingredient that makes them fast and full of flavor. Sweet Kale Vegetable Salad Kit from our brand partner Eat Smart. Yes, a salad kit! This particular salad kit includes 7 superfoods: kale, green cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, chicory, roasted pumpkin seeds, and dried cranberries. We save the pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries for a different use, but everything else gets added to the tacos. We mix the dressing packet included in the kit with a bit of lemon juice, garlic, and adobo sauce to create a sauce that is bursting with flavor.
