Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs white fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or mahi-mahi)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small flour or corn tortillas
- Fresh lime wedges for serving
For the Mango Salsa:
- 1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and diced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Mango Salsa:
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, and fresh cilantro.
- Add the lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and set aside.
- Prepare the Fish:
- In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and rub them with olive oil. Then, coat the fish with the spice mixture on both sides.
- Cook the Fish:
- Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil if needed to prevent sticking.
- Cook the fish fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and let rest for a minute before flaking into bite-sized pieces.
- Warm the Tortillas:
- While the fish is cooking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20-30 seconds per side, or until they are soft and pliable.
- Assemble the Tacos:
- Place a portion of the flaked fish onto each tortilla.
- Top with a generous spoonful of the mango salsa.
- Serve:
