Fish tacos get our mouths watering, no matter the variety. You wouldn't think it's possible to make them PCOS-friendly, but with the right choice of low-GI tortilla and sensibility when it comes to toppings, they can easily be enjoyed as a treat day dish.

Fresh ingredients and low-fat yogurt in replacement of the sour cream will keep your fat content down. Also, traditional fish tacos have cabbage vs. lettuce and this will make your digestive system oh so happy!

But, it is your treat day and you deserve some extra delicious calories on this day if you've been compliant all week. Rye and Sourdough bread is lower GI than white or typical wheat bread, so it breaks down slower to sugar in your system. Light mayo has less fat than full-fat mayo. Same with fat-free (or low-fat) cheddar. So, while it's not PERFECTLY healthy, it is a lighter recipe than it would if you ate it with traditional white bread, full-fat cheese and mayo. So, enjoy! And if you're sensitive to dairy, skip this one. :)
