I have been obsessed with these grilled cod fish tacos recently! They are extremely fresh and only take about 20 minutes to make! Plus, I added two of my favorite that I make to go the fish tacos.
Everyone loves sauce but they can be full of calories and sugar so I like to make my own. You can also adjust the flavor and spice when you make sauces instead of buying them.
