  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • 4-6 pieces Corn tortillas Feel free to double up!
  • Fresh chopped cilantro and lime wedges for garnish
For the spicy Sriracha lime sauce
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt for creaminess
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha or more if you're feeling bold
  • 1 unit Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoon honey adds a hint of sweetness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let sit while heating the pan.
Cooking
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, lay the fish fillets in the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes per side until opaque and flaky.
Making the Sauce
  1. In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, Sriracha, lime juice, and honey until smooth. Adjust the Sriracha to taste.
Assembly
  1. Warm the corn tortillas. Flake the fish into bite-sized pieces and pile on the tortillas. Drizzle the spicy Sriracha lime sauce generously and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime juice.
Serving
  1. Serve your Zesty Fish Tacos with extra lime wedges on the side.

Notes

Don't skimp on the sauce; it's essential for flavor. You can also mix up the proteins; grilled chicken or shrimp work great. Leftover fish can be added to salads or breakfast scrambles.
