"I loved a local chain restaurant's fish tacos so much, that I had to try to duplicate them," says SCAREY76. "They combine flour tortillas filled with breaded, fried tilapia, layered with chipotle mayo, topped with napa cabbage, dressed with honey-cumin sauce, and served with pico de gallo, sour cream, chips and salsa. You'll find them very refreshing and packed full of flavor!"

Though it's billed here (and is delicious) as a dip, this creamy jalapeno, sour cream, and ranch recipe is similar to the Baja sauce they serve with Chuy's fish tacos in Texas. "I prefer to make it the night before so the flavors really have time to work together," says IdahoJamGirl.
