Ingredients  

Sauce:  

• 1/2 cup plain yogurt  

• 1/4 cup salsa to taste  

• Juice of 1 lime  

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder  

• ½ teaspoon ground cumin  

• Salt to taste  

Fish Tacos:  

• 1.5 pounds flaky white fish filets cod, tilapia, halibut, snapper, mahi-mahi  

• salt and freshly ground black pepper  

• ¼ cup canola oil  

• 2 limes juiced  

• 2 teaspoons chili powder  

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika  

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin  

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder  

• 8 white corn tortillas  

• 1 tsp Creole Tang Seasoning Blend 

• 1 tsp Garlic & Herb Seasoning Blend 

• Toppings: Pico de gallo Shredded cabbage, lime wedges and fish sauce  

Directions  

• Pat fish dry and check for bones. Place into a resealable plastic bag; set aside  

• In a small bowl, whisk together oil, lime juice, chili powder, paprika, cumin, Creole Tang Seasoning Blend and garlic powder  

• Pour over the fish, seal the bag and gently massage to coat. Place in the fridge to marinate for at least 20-30 minutes.  

• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees F). Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent fish from sticking.  

• Grill fish filets for 3-4 minutes per side, using a long-handled grill spatula to turn. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fish. Transfer fish to a clean plate and let rest for a few minutes before serving. *If using a more delicate fish like tilapia, I recommend using a grill basket or other type of grill pad to keep the fish from breaking and falling through the grates.  

• To serve, break the fish up into large chunks and place onto warm tortillas. Top with fish sauce, shredded cabbage, and any other desired toppings.  

Fish Taco Sauce:  

• Combine ingredients together in a small bowl. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
