Going to get in a Sunday sweat sesh soon, do my grocery shopping, clean up and get ready for a work Banquet tonight! I always love Sundays because they are the perfect amount of productive and lazy. I've got an exciting week ahead - last FULL week of school (how the heck did that happen?) and someone special is coming to visit! Stay tuned...

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.
