Featuring flaky white fish, a bold sriracha lime crema, and crisp cabbage in warm tortillas, this easy taco recipe is quick, flavorful, and great for meal prep. Ideal for seafood taco lovers looking for a spicy twist.


Ingredients

1 lb white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or similar)

2 tbsp lime juice

2 tbsp sriracha

1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1 cup shredded cabbage

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper


Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt or sour cream with sriracha and lime juice until smooth. Adjust to taste.

2. Pat fish dry and season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook fish for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and flaky.

4. While fish cooks, shred the cabbage, slice lime wedges, and warm tortillas.

5. Add cabbage to tortillas, top with fish, and drizzle with sauce.

6. Serve immediately with optional toppings like avocado or cilantro.

Notes

Use fresh lime juice for best flavor.

Don’t overcook the fish—it should be flaky and moist.

Double the sriracha sauce if you like it extra spicy.
