This fish stick taco recipe is so simple! Add this to your quick lunch recipes for home. Using fish sticks plus a gourmet vegetable salad mix makes these so easy to make! @eatsmartveggies #EatSmartVeggies #adHey, fish tacos.  Lookin’ good. Yes, I just cat-called my dinner.

Just last night I was having a conversation with my father in law about the types of meals that I like to cook. They can’t have more than 2 steps (especially on weeknights) and they must be delicious. To achieve this, I look for ways to work more efficiently in the kitchen. Sometimes I change a recipe and other times I use a convenience item (yes you pay a little bit more but I think those minutes I saved more than makes up for it!). These fish stick tacos took me hardly any time to make, taste delicious and are full of healthy goodness. I call that a weeknight dinner win!
I love that with these gourmet vegetable salad kits from @EatSmartVeggies you can come up with all kinds of quick dinner recipes! I used the Southwest salad to create delicious and simple fish stick tacos! #EatSmartVeggies #adThe reason they are full of healthy goodness is thanks to these Eat Smart Gourmet Vegetable Salad Kits. These are kind of amazing. Each of the 7 varieties contain superfoods and is a complete salad meal. They come in a variety of flavors and are so tasty! I love a good salad kit for lunch. And these kits get it right. They all have a little bit of crunch or texture that makes this a legit salad, one that you WANT to eat. But I love them even more when they can cut out time from meal prep. Did you know that it is National Nutrition Month? Eat Smart products are an easy, yummy way to eat healthy this month and everyday.Do you love quick dinner recipes for family? You have to make these fish tacos! They couldn't be quicker, or more delicious! @EatSmartVeggies #EatSmartVeggies #adI ran in to my girlfriend, Trudy, at the store a few weeks ago. We chatted about fast meal ideas. She mentioned making fish tacos with fish sticks and I slapped my forehead. Totally genius. My kids LOVE fish sticks! So I stole her idea (which she stole from a friend so it’s ok…) and decided to give them a try. I knew the Southwest Eat Smart Gourmet Vegetable Salad Kit was the way to go.Here's a great quick mom lunch idea. Use @EatSmartVeggies Vegetable Salad Kits to create this simple fish stick taco recipe! #EatSmartVeggies #adThe Southwest kit starts with five superfoods: savoy cabbage, red cabbage, red radishes, carrots and kale. The package also contains dried corn and tortilla strips (that provide the perfect crunch!), some cheddar cheese and a chipotle dressing. All of those things make this perfect to fill a taco. So I baked up some fish sticks and put these bad boys together. To bring in more Mexican flavor I used a squeeze of fresh lime, some cilantro and cotija chese (it’s so good and salty!) on corn tortillas. YOU GUYS! These are SO good! Even your kids will love this fish stick taco recipe! Using a gourmet vegetable salad kit makes this a quick lunch idea! It works for a quick weeknight meal, or lunch at home! #EatSmartVeggies #adThe crunch of the tortilla strips and corn are perfect in these fish stick tacos! And the freshness from the lime and cilantro really make this next level. If you’re not in to the fish stick idea, that’s totally cool. Just use another kind of fish. Or even ground beef or chicken. Using this salad kit brings tons of flavor and everything but the meat! 
These @EatSmartVeggies Gourmet Vegetable Salad kits make the best mom lunches! There are 7 varieties and can be eaten as is or made in to some amazing quick lunch recipes! #EatSmartVeggies #adIt really got me thinking about the other Eat Smart Gourmet Vegetable Salad Kits.
