Sardine Tacos

Savor these flavorful Sardine Tacos featuring Fishwife Hot Pepper Sardines, a tangy slaw of red and green cabbage, creamy avocado, and a zesty jalapeño crema. Perfect for a quick, delicious meal with a spicy twist!

Ingredients
  • ¼ small red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • ¼ small green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 4-5 radishes, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 8-12 corn or flour tortillas, warmed
  • 2 ripe avocados, sliced
  • 2 tins Fishwife Hot Pepper Sardines
  • Fresh lime wedges, for serving
  • Hot sauce, optional
Directions
  1. Make the slaw. In a medium bowl, mix cabbages, radishes, cilantro, and lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  2. Make the crema. In a small bowl, mix sour cream, jalapenos, lime juice, and garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix in enough water (about a couple tablespoons) until it reaches a drizzle-able consistency.
  3. To assemble, warm the tortillas by toasting them directly over the medium flame of a gas burner using tongs, or preheat oven to 350F, wrap them in foil and place in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Place the warmed tortillas on a plate. Mash avocado slices on each tortilla with the back of a fork. Top with sardines, a handful of slaw, and a drizzle of jalapeno crema. Serve immediately with fresh lime slices and hot sauce.
