The weather may be slightly gloomy with the grey cloudy cover but this easy recipe for Fish Tacos with Pico De Gallo-Black Bean Sauce, courtesy of Robin Miller from the Food Network, is sure to put some spice into your week. To make the dish even better, pair it with one of Carson's slim cocktails such as the Slim Sippin' Tequila Sunrise. Recipe below:
