Fish Tacos
Fish Tacos originated in Baja California in Mexico, where they consist of grilled or fried fish, lettuce or cabbage, pico de gallo, and a sour cream or citrus/mayonnaise sauce, all placed on top of a corn or flour tortilla. In the US, they were first popularized by the Rubio's fast-food chain, and remain most popular in California, Colorado, and Washington.

Marinade for Kabobs
This Marinade for Kabobs is very versatile. You can also use it for chicken or pork. Sometimes, I buy meat and put it in a ziplock bag and freeze it with the marinade. This makes it easy on the day you grill it. As it thaws it continues to marinate. I marinated these beef kabobs for 24 hours. The longer the better. They were tender and delicious.
