Fish Stick Taco Bowls

Thank you so much to Gorton’s Seafood for sponsoring this post.  All opinions are my own.

The best weekend meal prep that you, and your kids, will love! With air fried fish sticks, cilantro lime rice, cabbage, carrots, and onions.  Add some guac or salsa if you’re a little extra!

Fun fact: The average American only gets half the amount of seafood he or she should consume, based on the USDA’s recommendation to eat seafood at least 2x/week.

I know some of you are more on point with your fish intake, but sometimes I completely overlook the seafood department when I’m at the grocery store.  I’ll end up buying bulk meats, that I can portion out and save for later, and not even think about prepping fish.

This week I took a bit of a different approach… when I was scrolling through IG, I saw a burrito bowl that looked amazing.  I decided that this week I was going to do a taco bowl and switch things up with frozen fish sticks.

Here are the ingredients you’ll need:

1. Gorton’s Crunchy Fish Sticks
2. Cabbage
3. Carrot
4. Lime
5. Red Onion
6. Cilantro
7. White Rice
