Just kidding. I am talking about my Pesto-Pico-de-Gallo-Fish-Tacos. I had the taco ingredients at home to make fish tacos. However, I was seriously craving for some pesto in my life. Therefore, I decided to make a dish combining both to satisfy my craving. Yeah, I heard you, this is not your typical taco, but then again, I am not your typical home cook, LOL!
 
The cover photo of today’s post was my plate; however, my husband had another idea of how he wanted to eat his tacos, you’ll see his dish in my slide show, smile.

Directions for Fish Taco
Pat dry the fish, cut in half and then in 1” stripes, season with lemon pepper, basting oil and refrigerate.
Slice the jalapeno, lemon and avocado and refrigerate.
In a skillet with a tad of basting oil, golden brown the tortillas, when done remove from skillet and place folded in the serving plates.
Immediately, add the fish to the skillet and cook just until it turns white, remove from skillet, place on your plate and add a generous strip of Pesto on top.
Place the salsa bowls in the middle of the plates.
Garnish with jalapeno, lemon and avocado.
Enjoy!
