Cajun Blackened Fish Tacos

Cajun Blackened Fish Tacos are so delicious and easy to prepare. This recipe is perfect for Lent. This could be gluten free if you used corn tortilla or a gluten free flour tortilla. You could also make this a clean dish by removing the tortilla and enjoying it on a bed of lettuce. I love all of the spices that are used.
