  • Use a variety of toppings: The toppings are what really make these tacos special. Be sure to use a variety of toppings, such as shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and crumbled queso fresco. This will give the tacos a delicious and complex flavor.
  • Serve the tacos immediately: Tacos are best served immediately after they are made. This will help to keep the fish crispy and the toppings fresh.
