Description

Delicious grilled fish tacos featuring flaky fish, zesty toppings, and a creamy spicy mayo, perfect for easy weeknight meals.


Ingredients

  • Fish fillets (such as tilapia or mahi-mahi)
  • Olive oil
  • Cumin
  • Paprika
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Corn tortillas
  • Creamy spicy mayo (mix mayonnaise with sriracha or your preferred hot sauce)
  • Fresh pico de gallo (diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, lime juice)
  • Lime wedges
  • Cabbage slaw (optional for added crunch)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or stovetop pan to medium-high heat.
  2. Mix olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
  3. Coat the fish fillets with the spice blend, then let them marinate for about 15 minutes to absorb those flavors.
  4. Place the marinated fish on the grill or in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flaky.
  5. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a separate pan until pliable.
  6. Assemble your tacos by layering in the fish, a drizzle of creamy spicy mayo, and a generous spoonful of pico de gallo.
  7. Serve with lime wedges and optional cabbage slaw for an extra crunch!

Notes

Choose fresh, high-quality fish for the best flavor. Allow the fish to rest for a minute after grilling to retain moisture.
