5 out of 7 dinners are served in a tortilla at my house.  I don’t really know how it ended up that way…I just like them!  Which brings me to tonight’s dinner…fish tacos.  I stumbled upon a recipe that I simplified a little and have used several times since finding it.  It’s quickly becoming one of our favorites!

Here’s the list of ingredients:

Marinate one pound of cod filets (cut up into small chunks) in the juice of a lemon a few teaspoons of vegetable oil and half a packet of taco seasoning.  After 15-20 minutes, pour the fish and marinade into a skillet and cook 5-7 minutes until done.

The ‘special sauce’ is what makes it.  Equal parts sour cream and mayo (I use light versions of both) with the rest of the packet of taco seasoning.  I mix it all with another squeeze of lemon.

The fixins’ are bagged cabbage, chopped avacado, tomato, black beans, limes and the special sauce.  Of course, you can serve the fish with whatever you like, but make to include THE sauce.

My Uncle Jeff taught me to lightly char corn tortillas on my gas stove top.  With a fork and a quick hand you have authentic tasting warm tortillas.  It’s the only way to eat tacos of any kind!

I quickly assembled my taco and took it back to the kitchen to photograph. 🙂  It has a healthy dose of Sriracha.  The hotter the better, right mom?

It’s that easy and it’s SO good.  And not too bad for you either!
