The Fish Taco Bowl That Will Disrupt Taco Tuesday

Taco Tuesday has become an American institution. As a Texan, tacos are my comfort food no matter the day. But when I'm eating lower carb, a bowl with cauliflower rice is a great stand-in. This Jamaican inspired Fish Taco Bowl may be the island vibe that will shake up your Taco Tuesday.

Is a Fish Taco Bowl Still a Taco?

This is certainly arguable, but in the low carb world, it's definitely a great sub for traditional tortilla version. Most low carb tortillas aren't great and the vegetable based ones (ie jicama tortillas) just don't do it for me. Unless it is an amazing handmade corn tortilla, I would really rather have all the good filling and save my carbs for something else. If I'm feeling it, however, I might have a few Siete tortilla chips.

What Makes This Fish Taco Bowl So Awesome

To put it succinctly, it's a FLAVOR BOMB. The flavor starts with a Jamaican Jerk inspired rub on flaky Mahi Mahi. Coconut lime rice and the lime-punched mango pico de gallo on top carry on the island flavors. It also happens to be super fast, colorful and different enough to serve to guests any night of the week. So I think a super fast flavor bomb that works for a weeknight family dinner or weekend dinner party is pretty awesome.

Jamaican Jerk Inspired Fish Tacos

If you want to make these into tacos, of course you can do that. Simply tuck the fish and mango salsa into your favorite soft tortillas. Add a little avocado and chipotle mayo if you want. Serve the coconut rice on the side.
