For the Fish

Preparation
  1. Rinse the rice under cold water and cook according to the package instructions. Once cooked, stir in the lime juice, lime zest, and chopped cilantro. Set aside.
  2. Pat the fish fillets dry and season with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. While the fish is cooking, prepare the toppings by dicing tomatoes, slicing avocado, and rinsing the black beans and corn.

Notes

If you're not a fan of the fish options mentioned, consider using shrimp or firm tofu for a plant-based twist. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat components separately in the microwave or on the stovetop for best results.
