Fish Tacos with Chili Lime Sauce

Tuesday, April 14, 2020
What I love about this recipe for Fish Tacos is you can use any kind of seafood or regular meat fillings you like, it's the toppings and chili lime sauce that's fantastic.



We have tried these with shrimp, scallops, haddock, cod, and mahi-mahi, fried chicken and pork, every single one of these fillings works perfectly in this delicious taco with the sauce.



If you love seafood tacos, this is a must-try for you.



These are so fresh and light and the perfect summer meal that brings you right to an Island-style meal for lunch or dinner.



We are huge seafood lovers and make many fish dishes all year long here in Florida one we love is Cioppino which is a delicious fish stew and every Friday is Fish Fry night!



We just love tacos no matter if it's taco Tuesday or any day of the week and another favorite we make are Air Fried Tacos, you just have to try those too!



If you're not a huge fan of seafood or have allergies, scroll down to my suggestions and alternatives, this chili lime sauce is great on any meats or pick out another dipping sauce we love to make.












The Toppings Are Terrific



We love tacos loaded with shredded sharp cheeses, avocado, lettuce, tomato, olives, sour cream, bell peppers, jalapenos and sometimes even diced cucumbers.



These are the perfect summer tacos and you can mix and match whatever vegetables you like and make a topping bar for everyone to build their own taco the way they like theirs.


You can use flour or corn tortilla and even a flavored tortilla works great if you love spicy try a jalapeno flavored tortilla!
