    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
    • Instant Pot Salsa Chicken - tomato salsa

    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!!
