🛒 Ingredients

For the Fish

  • 1 pound white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, mahi-mahi, or halibut)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Juice of 1 lime

For the Mango Salsa

  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt to taste

For Serving

  • Small corn or flour tortillas
  • Shredded cabbage or lettuce
  • Avocado slices
  • Lime wedges
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)

🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Season the Fish

Pat the fish dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the seasoning all over the fish and drizzle with olive oil and lime juice.

Step 2: Cook the Fish

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the fish for about 3–4 minutes per side until flaky and cooked through. Remove from heat and gently break into chunks.

Step 3: Make the Mango Salsa

In a bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir well and let the flavors blend for a few minutes.

Step 4: Warm the Tortillas

Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and warm.

Step 5: Assemble the Tacos

Fill each tortilla with shredded cabbage, flaky fish, and a generous spoonful of mango salsa. Add avocado slices and drizzle with sour cream if desired.

🌟 Tips for the BEST Fish Tacos
