One of my favorite dishes, right down to the beautiful presentation is the fish tacos at Twigs Bistro, a local restaurant here in town. So yes, I had to find an alternative to the fish and give it a try. This easy meatless monday recipe chipotle zucchini is spicy and easily takes the place of the fish and makes a wonderful taco. Paired with the chipotle slaw…. Mmmm. Perfect light summer dinner. (or in this case, easily done inside on panini grill for winter, lol!)

They are the perfect pairing!!
I have to admit, I didn’t have tortillas on hand so I ate mine as a salad and really was just as delish!
