Taco night gets a delicious upgrade with these easy Blackened Fish Tacos. Mild white fish like cod or tilapia is coated in a homemade blend of Cajun-inspired spices and seared in a hot skillet until the outside forms a flavorful, crisp crust while the inside stays moist and flaky. The spicy fish is tucked into warm corn tortillas and topped with a creamy, cooling avocado-lime crema, crunchy cabbage slaw, and fresh pico de gallo. The combination of hot and cold, spicy and creamy, makes these tacos utterly irresistible. They're light, healthy, and come together in 20 minutes, offering a fantastic way to enjoy seafood with big, bold flavors.
