This recipe is quick and easy to make. It is a little different, but so full of flavor! am very excited to tell you all about it. So, let’s get to it!
Benefits of Sardines
According to Healthline, sardines offer the following health benefits:
- Omegas
- Vitamins B12 and D
- Calcium
- Iron
- Potassium
- Protein
If you have never eaten sardines before, this is a great way to enjoy them. The brand I personally use is La Sirena. In this recipe, I combine the sardinas with chopped tomato, La Morena chiles, chopped tomato, diced onion, and minced cilantro. I add plenty of lime juice and mix it all together really well. After that, I enjoy the mixture on top of a tostada. Finally, I pair my meal with a michelada! The combination is so delicious. You have to try it for yourself.
