The star of this recipe is the dollop of creamy sauce on top of these cod tacos. But we also love that you can have the entire meal ready in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
4 teaspoons taco seasoning
1/2 pound cod or haddock fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon canola oil
4 taco shells
Optional ingredients: Shredded cabbage, chopped tomato and lime wedges

Directions

For sauce, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, cilantro and 2 teaspoons taco seasoning. In another bowl, toss cod with lemon juice and remaining taco seasoning.
In a skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; saute cod just until it begins to flake easily with a fork, 4-6 minutes (fish may break apart as it cooks). Spoon into taco shells; serve with sauce and optional ingredients as desired.
