Mexican Baked Fish

Recipe Description

My dinner parties are usually always with a theme, and this Mexican Baked Fish is a popular menu choice for a different twist on Mexican night. With all the ingredients that the best tacos should have, I use them as toppings to baked cod.

You can design your fish as spicy and as mild as you and your guests prefer with a salsa of your choice, sprinkle tons of oozing, melted cheese, and top with those traditional, crunchy corn chips, and the Mexican flavors will just pop all over your tastebuds! Accompany with black bean rice, warm tortillas and a fruity margarita and your Mexican Madness is ready in minutes!

To make Mexican Baked Fish, you will need the following ingredients:
