Crispy Baja Fish Tacos with Creamy Lime Sauce are so yummy, they’re sure to become a fast family favorite! They’re a healthy and tasty addition to your Tex-Mex menu.
Hi, Friends!
We’re gonna do better than just Happy Taco Tuesday today.
It’s midsummer, it’s gorgeous out, and that deserves a big ‘ol: Happy Crispy Baja Tacos with Creamy Lime Sauce Day! 😋
We are embracing all the opportunities to celebrate big and small things today, because we finally are on the other side of Sickness Mountain.
Never have our peeps been so sick and up to our neck in antibiotics all at once. I counted 10 doctor’s visits in 1 month. In midsummer, no less. We’ve been trading camping, swimming, and parties for days of laying on the couch.
Even The Bulldog got an ear infection. Wish I were kidding.
So yeah. We’re totally celebrating big and small things now that we’re feeling human again.
That’s why we’re going way beyond plain old Taco Tuesday today…
It’s been forever and a day since we’ve set foot in our favorite little San Diego style taco hangouts. So many scrumptious hole in the wall eateries.
I absolutely took my proximity to such tasty establishments for granted. #excalifornian
These days we whip up our own crispy Baja fish tacos with creamy lime sauce.
The fish is tender and perfectly crispy with a light batter. The zesty lime sauce is a dreamy covering for fish tacos – tastes just like I remember back in SD.
The fixings are like cherries on a sundae. Plenty of crunchy veggies, tomatoes, salsa, Chunky Guacamole if you like (who doesn’t like,) cilantro, and extra lime. Never forget the extra squeeze of lime.
The best part: pile up your own fish tacos just the way you like them.
Create. Eat. Repeat.
Enjoy.

Beyond the Taco…
I LOVE tacos! The only thing I love more then tacos are fish tacos 🙂 I want to eat this right now!
Looks like one awesome recipe. Tacos is always a very refreshing and fresh food. I might try out a veggie version of this!
You can really play around with the ingredients for this one. It also looks tasty and can be a meal substitute.
My family and I enjoyed fish tacos when we visited LA last summer. I read the ingredients of the creamy lime sauce and my mouth watered in approval. Should make and taste.
I was curious looking at your recipe. I have not tried avocado with onions, though I love eating both, separately at least. Although I like tacos in salsa, maybe this simple ingredients may open up a whole new taco experience for me.
These all look amazing!! Your pictures are making me so hungry 🙂
Yay, that means I’m doing my job 😉 Thanks, Kelly!
