Homemade Fish Tacos + Sriracha Lime Greek Yogurt Sauce

Hello hello! I've got a really delicious fish taco recipe for you!! I was really craving sushi tonight but my wallet wasn't so I picked my next favorite type of food - tacos!

tacoheaderThe sauce makes these. I also totally meant to add shredded cheese and I forgot. Sad. Clearly didn't notice much! But If you make these I would suggest the cheese. The recipe makes two hearty tacos.

Taco Ingredients: 

  • 1/2 green pepper sliced thinly
  • 1/4 cup sliced red onion
  • 1/2 cup black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 avocado
  • 1/4-1/2 cup sliced romaine lettuce
  • Kosher salt & pepper
  • Trader Joe's Taco spice mix (or any taco mix!)
  • 1 cod filet
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tortillas (I used La Tortilla light flour tortillas)
  • For the yogurt sauce:
  • 1/2 cup low-fat greek yogurt
  • 2-3 tablespoons sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (I squeezed a fresh one so this is a guesstimate)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp taco mix

Directions:

  • Heat half of the olive oil in a medium pan
  • Cook the peppers and onions on medium heat until cooked through but still a little crunchy - place in a bowl to the side
  • Pat cod filet dry and season with salt and taco mix - place in heated pan with other half of oil
  • Cook for about 6 minutes - As it cooked it became flaky and I forked the fish into small pieces
  • Set to the side and make the sauce by combining all of the ingredients and stirring until smooth
  • Heat the tortillas
  • Place fish on the tortillas and top with veggies, beans, lettuce, avocado and yogurt sauce and give everything an extra spritz of lime!

taco2These are so good I already decided I am making them another night this week. Fish tacos remind me of vacation and I always kind of wish I was on vacation. Don't you?

Hope you like these!

New Cycle Playlist

Follow my blog with Bloglovin (Anyone on Bloglovin?? I'm new to it but it's great to find new blogs!)

I subbed a 6:15 a.m. cycle class yesterday morning and I was really in the need of new music to motivate me to teach a really strong class that early.

I spent about an hour and a half Sunday night searching for new music and came up with a fun playlist that I can't stop listening to! Music is everything in a cycle class.

Weekend Recap: Passover, Anniversary & Beach

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter/Passover weekend! I was able to go home to spend Passover with my family, which is something that I haven't done in a long time! School has always been too busy at this time. This weekend was special because my grandparents held the seder on Friday night and it was also their 51st wedding anniversary on Sunday...and they had NO idea I was coming home! It was such a fun surprise. I love surprises. Instead of writing about it I'll just share a bunch of pictures! I got home Thursday night and had dinner downtown with my dad and sister. My dad just moved into a new condo downtown that is right on the river and beautiful! Going home is vacation more than anything!

Friday consisted of a strength class at the gym I used to go to at home and then I hit the beach with my sister and mom. It was GORGEOUS. Man, I miss the beach here.

Processed with VSCOcam with c1 presetFriday night we made it over to my grandparents place for Passover and they were definitely surprised!

M girlsPOur seder was nice, can never go wrong with matzoh ball soup and Manischewitz - a kosher wine that tastes like straight up grape juice if you are not familiar. Delicious, but a recipe for a wicked hangover if more than eight ounces is consumed.

Saturday morning I did an aerobic step class with my mom - HARD. The choreography was wild and it left me drenched. Step is underrated these days! It's so fun and such a good workout. Saturday we grilled chicken & steak, made garlic bread, salad and other munchies for a little anniversary party for my grandparents. Whenever I go home it entails a lot of food and a lot of family time! All things I love.

It was a fun and super relaxing weekend! We also made an amazing cocktail Saturday night and I will share the recipe in a future post :)

I look forward to a little more down time after graduation!

How did you spend your weekend? Family? Food? Sun?
