Notes:

  • I used frozen, wild-caught cod. You could also substitute skinless halibut, any other white fish or even salmon.
  • For spicier tacos, add cayenne or Sriracha sauce.

To make Paleo Fish Tacos:

  • Substitute Cassava Flour Tortillas for the corn tortillas.
  • Make the garlic-lime sauce with Easy Blender Mayonnaise {whole30 compliant}. I suggest using a stick blender and a mason jar for less mess. 😉
  • Substitute lettuce leaves for Whole 30 compliant tacos.

Some additional Taco Recipes for you to try:

  • Fish Tacos with Papaya Mango Salsa
  • Grilled Shrimp Tacos
  • Mexican Style Shredded Beef
  • Instant Pot Salsa Verde Shredded Chicken

For a spicier sauce, try my Chipotle Crema:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream or coconut milk (the kind in a can)
  • 1 Large clove garlic (pressed or finely minced)
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon adobo sauce {add more for more heat!!}
  • Whisk together and chill until ready to use.

So who's ready for Fish Tacos?

Enjoy!!
