This not only comes together quickly, it saves you from fussing over frying fish on the stove and saves your kitchen from smelling like halibut for the next week. In our experience, store bought salsa varies on salinity and spice. TJ’s refrigerated Salsa Verde is kinda watery and doesn’t really need more salt, so just adjust accordingly.

We call these family style, since they can easily be scaled up and served for a crowd. And, aside from the crema and slaw, most of the work is hands off. My kids also feel more inclined to eat different foods when they are making their own choices to assemble said meal.

The pictured cocktail is grapefruit Spindrift + tequila + fresh lime juice and it’s perfect with Mexican food and not overly sweet.
