Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos

Fish Tacos are perfect for hot summer days especially with some sangria or a nice frozen lemonade.  Well it is not quite summer…. and it is too cold for a frozen drink,  but I totally forgot to post the Mahi Mahi Tacos, Seared Tuna Tacos, and the Shrimp Tacos I made this summer.  Enjoy!
