This is it – the most perfect fish tacos sauce! Creamy, spicy, tangy, and smooth, and it goes great over any kind of fish (or shrimp) tacos you’re craving!
You all know how much I LOVE sauces and condiments. I mean, more than the average person (maybe too much more, if that’s possible.) There is no exception to my sauce loving when it comes to fish tacos, either. A flavorfully seasoned fish taco deserves and equally flavorful sauce on top and this one delivers! A little spicy, creamy (thanks Greek yogurt!), and tangy, it’s the perfect topping for all your fish and seafood tacos and beyond!
Tasty – You wouldn’t believe how just a few simple ingredients can taste so GOOD together! You’ll want to put this easy fish tacos sauce on any and all fish, shrimp, and other meats too. It’s not just limited to fish. This quick sauce goes great on everything!
Healthy – By using half Greek yogurt and half mayo, I have cut out some of the unhealthy fats and added more protein. You could also use all Greek yogurt for that matter and no mayo at all if you want it even healthier!
Simple ingredients – The fanciest ingredient in this sauce for fish tacos is adobo sauce and you can get that in a can of chipotles in the Mexican/ethnic food aisles in probably just about any grocery store. Easy!
I don’t even think I need to write out directions for this simple quick fish taco sauce, but here goes. Are you ready?
In addition to this fish tacos sauce recipe (of course), there are many, many ingredients I like to serve alongside fish tacos. In no particular order:
