    Modified: Apr 17, 2021 by Pranika · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads · #sponsoredpost · Leave a Comment

    Hi this is Pranika! Tacos are always a good thing, relatively fast, and pretty no-fuss. This was a simple, fast meal that we all enjoyed plus pretty healthy! The fish cooks extremely fast so make sure some of the garnishes are ready and the beans begin cooking before the fish goes into the oven.

    Various colors in the meal usually means its pretty health and this one definitely is. I had one ecstatic kid after this dinner, one decently happy, and my husband loved it all.
