Crispy Baked Frozen Fish Tacos

Who says tacos can’t be both easy and crispy? These baked frozen fish tacos are a game-changer for busy weeknights, offering all the crunch without the fuss of frying.

Ingredients

• 1 lb frozen breaded fish fillets
• 8 small corn tortillas
• 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Arrange the frozen fish fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
