Looking for a quick dinner? These delicious fish tacos with pepper jelly come together in less than 20 minutes and are a super easy dinner for a busy night.
If you read this blog regularly, you already know that I am a little obsessed with “cheater” freezer cooking. Not only are these simple meals quick & easy to throw together, they save us a ton of money on groceries (and especially on eating out.) Better yet, they make our sometimes hectic weekdays SO much simpler!
Even so, every now and then it’s fun to throw in something a little new and different into the mix. Thus, so while these yummy–and super easy–Fish Tacos with Pepper Jelly are not a TRUE freezer recipe, they do call for frozen fish, which is usually more economical than fresh. The rest of this recipe comes together so quickly and with just a few ingredients. And don’t let the pepper jelly intimidate you–it really adds a great depth of flavor and the “heat” can be adjusted to your liking!

2 lbs. fresh or frozen cod, halibut or tilapia 1 teaspoon Grill Mates Chipotle & Roasted Garlic seasoning 2-4 tablespoons butter 1 package coleslaw mix 1 10oz. bag shredded carrots 2 -4 limes, juiced 10.5 oz. jar pepper jelly 1-2 jalapenos, diced 1 large clove garlic, minced 2 teaspoons soy sauce 12-16 6-inch flour tortillas
