Description

Fish Taco Sauce is a creamy, tangy, and slightly spicy condiment that pairs perfectly with grilled or fried fish tacos. Made with simple ingredients, it’s quick to whip up and elevates any taco night.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (like sriracha or your favorite)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and hot sauce.
  2. Stir in garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt.
  3. Mix until smooth and creamy. Add cilantro if using.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
  5. Serve drizzled over fish tacos or as a dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Adjust hot sauce to taste for more or less heat.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter option.
  • Also great on shrimp tacos, burrito bowls, or as a veggie dip.
