Review & Giveaway: Fish Taco Mexican Fiesta Night

I bet you didn't know that this coming Monday, October 4th is National Taco Night, did ya? You didn't? I know, it's another holiday every time you turn around. Hey, it gives you an excuse to celebrate! Celebrating means FUN!

Gorton's, makers of tons of great fish you'll find in your grocer's freezer aisles, wants you to consider hosting a Fish Taco Mexican Fiesta Night!

We all know fish is good for you, but it's hard to come up with new ways to serve it to our families. Gorton's has everything from Battered Fillets to Grilled Shrimp to Salmon and Tilapia Fillets (and more!) - all of which could be used for Taco Night for a different spin! Need some recipe ideas? Check out WeLoveFishTacos.com, where you will find ideas such as Crunchy Fish Tacos:


Products:
•1 package of Gorton's Fish Sticks or Gorton's Tenders
•1 package Ortega Yellow Corn Taco Shells, warmed

Garnish Suggestions:
•1 cup lettuce, shredded
•2 tomatoes, chopped
•1 cup Mexican blend shredded cheese
•Ortega Thick & Smooth Taco Sauce
•Ortega Diced Green Chiles

I made this idea - well, close. I used soft tortillas, Gorton's Tenders, spinach, corn nibblets (drained), salsa, and a bit of shredded Cheddar cheese:


Nom, nom! DH was asking when I would be making them again! I normally shy away from making fish at home, because my house always ends up smelling like a fish market since it's small, but it wasn't bad at all! (I guess because these were in the oven, instead of a frying pan on the stove?) If you are looking for a more grown up idea, check out the Avocado & Mango Lime-Grilled Shrimp Tacos - those look so yummy!

Plus, if you decide to host a Fish Taco Mexican Fiesta Night of your own, take some pictures of your family enjoying the fun - you'll be able to enter to win some great prizes, including the grand prize: trip for four to All-Inclusive Allegro Playacar Resort in Playa del Carmen, Mexico for 3 nights, plus 12 Gorton’s and 12 Ortega VIP FREE product coupons and your taco fiesta photo published on www.welovefishtacos.com. You have until October 7th to enter, so hurry and have some Fishy Fiesta Fun! For more information, and to enter, be sure to check out the official contest page.

And don't forget to visit Gorton's website, because you'll find a printable coupon to save $0.50 off any Gorton's product! (It's a Bricks coupon) If you don't have a printer, or have problems - don't fret. If you contact their customer service, they will gladly mail a coupon to you. (Which has become rare anymore, hasn't it?)

Win it! Thanks to the folks over at Gorton's, two lucky readers will each win a free product coupon for their choice of Gorton's products to help have a Fish Taco Night of their own! Feeling like shrimp? fillets? grilled or battered? Whatever you want! To enter, head on over to WeLoveFishTacos.com and tell us which recipe sounds like a winner for your family's Fish Taco Mexican Fiesta Night.
