Baja Fish Tacos - Recipe

Dh wanted something different last Friday night for dinner.
Not pizza, not fish sticks, pasta or tuna patties.
Simply put, we wanted something different.
We put our noggins together and came up with fish tacos; we all eat and enjoy them.
(Trust me if you have never had them, they are oh.so.good!)
Now we wanted fresh fish so off he went and found a recipe to try while I went and bought the fish.

We did make some slight substitutions to the recipe.
I used talapia instead of the cod and for the cabbage I added some apple cider vinegar over top with salt and pepper. Then sat that to the side to let it mellow a bit.
Oh! We used soft taco shells they were alright but hard shells would be much better.
