Ingredients
- 1 lb white fish fillets (such as tilapia or mahi-mahi)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas
- 2 ripe mangoes, diced
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
- Juice of 1 lime
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Preparation
Start by preparing the mango salsa. In a bowl, combine the diced mangoes, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, and cilantro. Add honey or agave syrup to balance the flavors. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
Next, season the fish fillets with paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side until it’s golden brown and cooked through. Flake the fish into bite-sized pieces.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Assemble the tacos by placing some of the flaked fish onto each tortilla, then topping with a generous spoonful of mango salsa.
Serving Suggestions
