What better way to inaugurate the grilling season than with deliciously grilled seafood tacos?
I bought tortillas that I know are perfect on the grill, a rich Pico de gallo with mango, Mexican queso fresco, and cilantro, and we were ready for grilled seafood tacos. Serve with some delicious corn on the cob.
And for those who do not eat Pico de Gallo, I made an aluminum pocket with onions and peppers. Remember to season and add oil before wrapping. So there was the option of grilled seafood fajitas.
