Fish Tacos with Cilantro Slaw

Ahh, fish tacos, my love of them runs deep.  Any time I am at a restaurant you can pretty much bet I will choose either salmon or fish tacos.  I thought I would attempt to whip up a delicious version for you all that is both vibrant and dairy free (whoop whoop!). 
I decided to use store bought guacamole (Wholly guacamole) to help streamline the work in this recipe but if you have a great homemade version go for it! You fancy, huh?  I also use Vegenaise and Sriracha to make a simple sauce to top these tacos off that is vegan but don't let that fool you.  (It pairs so well with sweet potato fries, too FYI.)  The rest is easy to assemble and just squeeze lime juice all over everything if your unsure.  
Hope you enjoy these as much as I did!  See you all back here soon!
