Easy, Quick, Fish Tacos #1

What a lonnnggg lonnnng Tuesday! I had planned to eat leftover something tonight since Chris had a tooth pulled today, but I have been craving fish tacos thanks to my two lovely cousins Sara and Amanda!! We may only see each other once a year or Sara in your case once every few years, but I absolutely love that we can share recipes I love it I love it I love it!! Sharing and exchanging recipes with family is almost as exciting to me as cooking!! It enhaces my cooking experience!! So thanks to all my family and friends for sharing! Also, if anyone has a recipe they're considering making but havent had time, or are not that daring, or whatever, share it and I would love to try it out and write about it!
Well my cousins both shared their recipes and I definitely want to try both!! BUT I didnt get home til 8pm and didnt have some of the ingredients especially fresh fish fillets!! All I had was Van De Kamps breaded fish. They both also called for adobe chilies....which ive always want to use...but dont keep those on hand. SOOO it was time to pull a martha and improvise. I took some of the recipe Amanda shared and brushed my fish as it was cooking with a mix of honey, cumin, and lime juice....boy that alone made it yummy, may have to experiment with that with other dishes!! I then wanted a mayoish sauce so mixed mayo, cayenne pepper, salt, and Tabasco Chipolte pepper sauce...very good as well!! This was quick and easy to make and sooo yummy!!!  Amanda, Sara, thanks for sharing the recipes I will be trying them out in the future...especially the one with the sweet pickle relish...which I LOVE!
