Instructions

Dredging for fish: In a medium bowl stir together flour, taco seasoning, garlic powder, cornstarch, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Fish taco sauce: In a small bowl stir together yogurt, mayo, lime juice, taco seasoning, cayenne and black pepper. Set lime crema sauce aside.
Toppings: Chop and prepare the toppings.
To cook fish: Preheat large ceramic non-stick skillet on medium-high heat and swirl 1 tbsp of oil. In batches, dredge pieces of fish in flour mixture and fry for 2-3 minutes per side or until crispy and brown. Fish cooks fast, so don't over cook. Do not overcrowd the skillet - helps to keep fish crispy. Remove onto a plate.
To assemble tacos: Warm tortillas in a cast iron skillet on high heat for 10 seconds per side and pressing on with spatula. Fill each tortilla with 3-4 pieces of fish, add toppings and drizzle with sauce. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings (please see suggestions in notes).

Notes

Store: Refrigerate leftover cooked fish, sauce and toppings covered or in a container for up to 24 hours. Fish is most crispy right after cooking.
