Healthier Fish Tacos

What makes these tacos healthier is the addition of shredded veggies.  Get creative and let your kids choose their favorites to include.  The next time you're at the grocery store, take them down the produce aisle and let them select any vegetable they want.  Tell them that you'll grate the vegetable and include it in the tacos.
