Easy Fish Tacos With Spicy Sauce

These simple flavorful quick-cooking fish tacos are exactly what you want to make on a busy weeknight. A flaky white fish like cod or halibut works best here. The fillets get a dry rub with a spice mix of ground cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt before getting pan-seared until they get a deep, flavorful crust. Place the flaky hunks of fish over warm charred tortillas (we prefer corn tortillas, but flour tortillas work too) and top with a crunchy shredded slaw that’s dressed in fresh lime juice and olive oil. Drizzle everything with the three-ingredient spicy fish taco sauce (a combination of sour cream, garlic-chili hot sauce, and more lime juice), which can be dialed up in heat to your taste.

And if you forgot the tortillas? Serve the spiced fish fillets over rice with a side of black beans and plenty of fresh cilantro for the easiest Mexican-inspired fish non-tacos ever.
