Instructions
- Prepare the Mango Salsa:
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño, lime juice, and cilantro. Mix well and season with a pinch of salt. Set aside.
- Season the Fish:
- Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel. Rub both sides with olive oil, then evenly coat with chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the Fish:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the fish for 3–4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and let it rest for 2 minutes, then break it into large chunks.
- Assemble the Tacos:
- Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Layer each tortilla with fish chunks, a generous scoop of mango salsa, and optional garnishes like avocado, shredded cabbage, and Greek yogurt.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side.
