These fish tacos have been my weeknight go-to lately, as they are light, flavorful, and easy to prepare. Lean flakey white fish like cod, snapper, or mahi mahi are traditionally used in fish tacos as they are mild in flavor, slightly sweet and compliment the seasonings of the rub. I recommend gluten-free almond flour tortillas by Siete, for those avoiding gluten. See note for Spicy Sriracha Sauce.
For those trying to lower their carb intake, Mission Carb Balance Soft Taco Flour Tortillas are a very good product. They are lower in carbohydrates, loaded with fiber, and taste good.

Prepare Fish Taco Sauce.
Take 3 Tbsp of cottage cheese and mix with 2 Tbsp of Salsa. May need to triple the recipe. (Cottage cheese is much better on the digestive tract than sour cream or mayo).
