Fish Tacos packed with textures and flavors is what this post is all about. It is really about how to make your own taco shells. The rest is just to easy to write a post about. Don’t worry, I am going to anyway.

Teenagers love tacos, now mine loves fish tacos. The smoked trout tacos, I thought, was a bit of a gamble, but they devoured them. So I think it is the perfect sleep-over food for the kids. Effortless entertaining for parties which are increasing with end of the year creeping up.

Lets start with the taco shells

Ingredients

12 mini tortilla wraps

100 ml olive or canola oil

15 ml taco spice

Method

Preheat the oven to 180 C. Mix the olive oil and taco spice in a small bowl. Take the 12 tortillas and place in a clean dishcloth. Fold the dishcloth to close the tortillas. Microwave on HIGH for 30-40 minutes. Take the tortillas out and on a clean work surface, use a pastry brush and brush the tortillas with the flavoured oil. Drape each tortilla over two bars of the oven rack. Bake the tortillas for 8-10 minutes.
Once the tortillas have cooled down, it can be stored in an airtight container until needed.
