Description
Enjoy these flavorful grilled fish tacos topped with a zesty spicy mayo and fresh pico de gallo.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds firm white fish fillets (like cod, tilapia, or mahi-mahi)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 8–10 corn or flour tortillas
- For the Spicy Mayo:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1–2 tablespoons sriracha or hot sauce (adjust to your spice preference)
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- For the Pico de Gallo:
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1/4 red onion, finely diced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over the fish fillets.
- Grill the fish for 4-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from grill and set aside.
- While the fish is grilling, prepare the spicy mayo by whisking together mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice in a small bowl.
- Prepare the pico de gallo by combining diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, minced jalapeño (if using), lime juice, and salt in another bowl.
- Warm the tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet.
- Flake the grilled fish into bite-sized pieces.
- Assemble the tacos by placing fish onto each tortilla, topping with spicy mayo, and then pico de gallo.
Notes
- You can substitute other firm white fish for the ones suggested.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha in the mayo to control the heat level.
- For a spicier pico de gallo, leave some seeds in the jalapeño.
