Easy Fish Tacos image

We like to go to a local restaurant for Friday Fish Fry and always order the baked cod. There is often some fish leftover and I decided to try using it to make fish tacos. I cobbled together several different recipes to come up with this. NOTE: Not too long ago, I noticed that there were new products in the condiment section of the store, including Hellman's Cilantro-Lime Sauce. I used that instead of making my own seasoned crema or buying real crema. When we put our tacos together, this made enough fish for 4 tacos, but there was extra cabbage slaw, so judge serving size for yourself!
