Easy Fish Tacos and Sauce

We were on vacation in Arizona recently and after some recommendations from friends that were once locals to the area we were in, we tried a couple Mexican restaurants.  We had some delicious food and I found that I really liked Fish Tacos (minus the spice).  So after we got home, I decided to give it a try and make my own Easy Fish Tacos with a delicious sauce.  I hope you enjoy the recipe!

How to Make Easy Fish Tacos

Ingredients

• 1 lb Tilapia ( You can use other types of fish too, this is just what I had at home)
• 1 Half Lime
• ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 2 Tablespoons Butter
• Salt and Pepper

Ingredients for the Sauce

• ½ Cup Sour Cream
• ½ Cup Mayo
• 1 half lime, juiced
• ¼ Teaspoon Dill Weed
• 1 Teaspoon Fresh Cilantro
• ¼ Teaspoon Oregano
• ¼ Teaspoon Cumin
• ¼ Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

Extra Ingredients you Need

• Lettuce
• Fresh Cilantro
• Pico De Gallo
• 12 Small Tortillas

Instructions

Step 1 - Melt the butter in a small saute pan and then add the fish

Step 2 - While the fish is cooking season each side with the garlic powder, salt and pepper - if you like your fish tacos spicy you can add some cayenne pepper and cumin as well.

Step 3 - Let the fish cook about 5 minutes on each side before transferring to a plate and squeeze a bit of lime juice over it, if the fish falls apart that's fine

Step 4 - To make the sauce mix together the sour cream, mayo, seasonings and lime juice until it's well combined

Step 5 - Construct the Fish Taco by warming the tortilla and then adding the lettuce, Fish, Pico De Gallo (or plain tomatoes or salsa works) , cilantro and topping with the Fish Sauce.  Enjoy!

I played with my sauce for a while to get it the way our family would like it best, I'm not a spicy food lover so the recipe does have more of a cilantro kick to it, which I love.  But you could easily modify it to fit your tastes.
