Substitutions for Fish
If you aren’t a big fish fan, you can easily swap out the fish for shrimp!
You could also use other fish such as salmon, catfish, halibut or tuna.
For a plant based taco, toss chickpeas or diced sweet potatoes in spices and bake until done!
Low Potassium Fish Tacos
This recipe is fairy high in potassium from the avocado. If you need to limit potassium, leave off the avocado to lower potassium to 570mg per 3 tacos!
