Hot Mama Grade: B+

Hot Mama Notes: These were pretty good! I'm sure they'd be even better with fresh cooked fish and charred tortillas! I went for quick and easy. I had left over cooked cod frozen, so I cooked that in the microwave and added the seasoning. I didn't have the slaw ingredients, so I grated up some carrots and sautéed up some zucchini and yellow squash cubes in olive oil, season salt, and pepper. For the sauce, I substituted sour cream for Greek yogurt as I had none. I also omitted the thinning water, and used lemon juice instead of lime since I had none. I think lime would be much better! Still, the sauce was quite tasty! I love taijin! So flavorful! The kids liked these okay, so I will count that as a win! Woo hoo! Quick and easy dinner!
