Preparation Steps
- In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, and salt until well combined. Add cod fillets to the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 20-40 minutes.
- Prepare the creamy taco sauce by mixing mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, sriracha, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl. Refrigerate to meld flavors.
- Finely shred cabbage, chop red onion and cilantro, and dice jalapeño if using. Warm corn tortillas in a skillet for about 30 seconds per side to make them pliable.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add butter. Once melted, add marinated cod fillets, cooking for 3-5 minutes per side until flaky and golden. Remove and let rest briefly.
- Assemble each taco with a warm tortilla, flaky fish, shredded cabbage, red onion, and cilantro. Drizzle with taco sauce and sprinkle with Cotija cheese or jalapeños if desired. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

Notes
Allow fish to marinate for 20-40 minutes for the best flavor. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
