Change it up! Use Tilapia, marinate filetes in lime juice and tequila for 20 minutes. Grill the fish, don’t fry. Add some eagle brand sweetened condensed milk to the sour cream and chipolte mixture. The sweet will off-set the hot of the chipolte and will absolutely give you the best fish taco’s you have ever had!
