Steps:

1. SAUCE: In a medium bowl, mix together yogurt and mayo. Gradually stir in fresh lime juice until consistence is slightly runny, then add jalapeno, capers, oregano, cumin, and cayenne.
2. FISH: In a medium bowl, combine the lime juice, tequila, cumin, salt and pepper. Mix throughly. Add fish and toss to coat; marinate for 10 minutes.
3. After marinating, coat fish with flour and Old Bay. Heat just enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan and lightly fry your fish until golden brown.
4. Place fried fish on paper toweling to drain.
5. Drizzle the same pan with additional olive oil once again and cook tortillas until limp but not crispy. HINT: Use two tortillas for each taco so they aren't as messy to eat.
6. Add your toppings and enjoy! HINT: Take a whole lime and put it in the microwave for about 8 seconds. The lime will be oh-so juicy! Squeeze it all over the taco once you have it ready to eat! YUM YUM!
