Ingredients

• For the Grilled Fish:
• - 1 pound of white fish fillets (like cod, mahi-mahi, or halibut)
• - 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• - 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
• - 1 teaspoon of chili powder
• - Salt and pepper to taste
• For the Mango Salsa:
• - 2 ripe mangoes, diced
• - 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• - 1 jalapeno, deseeded and minced
• - 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro
• - Juice of 1 lime
• - Salt to taste
• For the Tacos:
• - 8 small corn tortillas
• - 1 cup of shredded lettuce
• - 1/2 cup of sour cream (optional)

Preparation Method

Let's begin with the fish. Start by patting the fish fillets dry using a paper towel. Drizzle olive oil over the fillets and then sprinkle the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure all the fillets are evenly coated with the seasoning. Set them aside to marinate for about 15-20 minutes.

While the fish is marinating, we can prepare the mango salsa. In a bowl, combine the diced mangoes, chopped red onion, minced jalapeno, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Stir them all together until well combined. Add salt to your liking and give it another good mix. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until it's time to serve.

Now, it's time to grill the fish. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once it's hot, add the fish fillets and grill them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they're cooked through and easily flake with a fork. If you don't have a grill, you can also pan-sear the fish in a hot skillet with a bit of oil.

While the fish is grilling, warm your tortillas. You can do this on the grill, over the stovetop, or even in the oven. Once they're warm and slightly charred, it's time to assemble your tacos.

Place a warm tortilla on a plate, add some shredded lettuce, a piece of grilled fish, and a heaping spoonful of the mango salsa. If you fancy, add a dollop of sour cream on top. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas.

Tips and Conclusion

For a fun variation, try adding some sliced avocado or a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese to your tacos. If youre a fan of spicy food, add some hot sauce or extra jalapenos to your mango salsa. These tacos pair beautifully with a side of Mexican rice or grilled corn on the cob.
