best easy fish tacos

JUMP TO RECIPE • PRINT RECIPE
The good news is this: even if it’s not summer, even if you live far away from any sort of ocean, even if you don’t really know anything about cooking… you can make EXTREMELY GOOD fish tacos at home.
Right here, right now, tonight. It’s on.
We love, love, love this recipe.
There is no love like the love I have for good fish tacos. And with these, you’re going to get that fish nice and tender and flaky and full of spicy flavor, and then you’re going to tuck it into little flour tortillas and top it with garlic lime slaw (omg), avocado, cilantro, and whatever else your fish taco heart desires.
The textures, the colors, the satisfying and crunchy I-might-be-on-vacation vibe? It’s all there.

HERE’S HOW TO MAKE THE BEST EASY FISH TACOS:

Step 1: Whisk up a sauce. Pour it over your fish.
Step 2: Bake your fish. Flake it right in the sauce.
Step 3: Make your dressing and pour it on the cabbage. Boom. Slaw.
Step 4: Taco assembly line… annnnd go.
We have plenty of other methods of making fish tacos on Pinch of Yum but these are hands-down the best easy fish tacos. They are just right for the Everyperson, which is why I love them and make them all the time.
They are:
  • super fast
  • super easy
  • fresh and crispy
  • full of flavor
  • peppy and fun
  • one of my favorite back-pocket weeknight meals!

TYPES OF FISH TO USE IN TACOS

We’re using cod for this recipe, but any white fish will do. You could also use:
  • Mahi mahi (yum!)
  • Snapper
  • Flounder
  • Halibut
  • Grouper
And if you you’re not a big fan of the above, shrimp is always an option! In that case, these Spicy Shrimp Tacos will be your best friend.

THE SECRET INGREDIENT

Okay, you might have opinions about this, but personally I like to approach chicken tikka masala as a five ingredient recipe:
  • Chicken
  • Yogurt
  • Tomato sauce
  • Cream
  • Masala paste
Let’s talk about the masala paste. In order to approach this as a five ingredient recipe, we need to establish that one of the “ingredients” is a MASALA PASTE with lots of fragrant and punchy and deeply flavored ingredients.
You make this masala paste once, it is done in about five minutes, and then it lives in your freezer so that forevermore you will have the ability to make this chicken tikka masala as a – you guessed it – quick, easy, five ingredient recipe.

Are you following?
So the first order of business here is making the masala paste. Today. Right now. End of story. One five minute batch of masala paste = many batches of this five ingredient CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA with hardly any thought or effort.

spicy peanut soup with sweet potato + kale

JUMP TO RECIPE • PRINT RECIPE
Spicy Peanut Soup. Are you ready?
All the people shout: WE ARE READY!
When eating well involves:
  • sweet potatoes
  • peanuts / peanut butter
  • fire roasted tomatoes
  • garlic and jalapeño
  • cilantro
…and a generally creamy, spicy, YUMMY vibe, there is no denying this.
You guys, this soup! Stew? It’s kind of both. It depends on how you make it and how much liquid you add, but EITHER WAY IT IS SO DARN GOOD. It literally checks all the boxes – creamy, satisfying texture; extremely awesome flavor; super nutritious; doesn’t take five and a half days to make. It doesn’t have meat, but girl, if you want meat, add meat! Not huge on kale? Swap for spinach. These are my favorite kinds of recipes – ones that just kind of let you do whatever you want to do and make it your very own.

SOME OPTIONS FOR COOKING PEANUT SOUP

Okay, you’ve got choices here.
  • Instant Pot: Raise your hand if you got one for Christmas. Yeah? Good news, because this can be made in the Instant Pot!
  • Slow Cooker: also a yes!
  • Stovetop: ALSO a yes! In almost the same amount of time! You just need to babysit it a little more, but hey – babysitting garlic, onion, jalapeño, sweet potatoes, and a creamy soup base as it comes together happens to be my all-time favorite kind of babysitting.
  • Freezing it for meal prep: OF COURSE YES! More on that HERE.

WHY I LOVE THIS SOUP

This soup is cozy and lovely. It’s not too spicy, although you could just omit the jalapeño altogether if you were worried about that. It has just the right balance of creaminess and kick and it reminds me of another version of a good-for-you curry. Speaking of which, this would go great over some brown rice or quinoa.
You would not be sad if you made a skillet of socca (bread! hot, buttery, crispy, gluten-free chickpea flat bread!) to go with this soup.
You have no excuses. I am not letting you get out of making this recipe.

cauliflower walnut vegetarian taco meat

JUMP TO RECIPE • PRINT RECIPE
Breaking news: vegetarian taco meat is a weirdly delicious thing. Like, all plants. In tacos. That really closely resembles ground beef and possibly even tastes better. This is a miracle of epic proportions.
Do we love tacos or DO WE LOVE TACOS? We – team POY, readers and bloggers and friends and family alike – definitely love tacos. We also love all derivatives of tacos – taco bowls, burritos, burrito bowls, quesadillas, enchiladas, tostadas, nachos, etc., which is good news for the magic of vegetarian taco meat because it goes with everything. All of them. Not one taco relative left behind.
The number of types of tacos I’ve made is beyond counting. It would actually be embarrassing. That number is not slowing down anytime soon, pals. Being a taco fanatic means I am definitely not going to say no to a beef taco if you offer it to me, but I am also a part-time vegetarian and I really love a good meatless alternative.
I have no real explanation for this except that I love to eat plants and I find cooking vegetarian recipes to be easier. And more fun. So chipotle-spiced, easy-to-make veg taco meat was born.

HOW TO MAKE SOME MIND-BLOWING VEGETARIAN TACO MEAT:

Here’s what we have going on in this vegetarian taco meat situation:
  • cauliflower
  • walnuts
  • chipotle peppers
  • a few spices
  • salt
Can you handle it? It’s too easy. It should be wrong but it’s so right.

cashew golden milk latte

JUMP TO RECIPE • PRINT RECIPE
Okay so maybe it sounds a little unusual, but please let me convince you: this cashew golden milk latte is a day-making treat.
A golden milk latte is a milky beverage that is packed with turmeric, ginger, and other spices. It is smooth and luscious and creamy, extremely fragrant, fantastically healthy, and rich and filling (thanks, cashews!). It is delicious served hot or cold, but even in the winter I am a big fan of pouring this over ice and sipping it through a cute reusable straw.
Golden milk lattes became a trend in 2016-ish and has a ton – like, really, a TON – of health benefits. You can read more about the origins and history of it here.
While you can use any kind of store-bought plant-based or regular milk to make a golden milk latte, why would you not want to make a fresh, smooth, creamy cashew milk to work all that turmeric-y goodness into? And you know how we feel about cozy cashew lattes in general.
This is my favorite way. It is really just so yummy – it can be a morning boost, a mid-day pick-me-up, or an evening wind-down treat, and every time it is so super good.

HOW TO MAKE GOLDEN MILK LATTES

Step 1: Add your cashews and water to the blender. Blitz and voilà! Cashew milk.
Step 2: Bring your spices and sweetener to the party – cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, honey – and blend again.
Step 3: Keep it in a jar in the fridge for easy pouring + golden milk happiness all week long.

It is rich in flavor, texture, and good-for-the-body ingredients. It tastes like a dream come true. Cashew Golden Milk Lattes, man. This is where it’s at.
NOTE: Because the base of this is a homemade blended nut milk, there will be separation. That is normal and natural! Nothing is wrong with it, just give it a shake to re-incorporate.
