Fish Tacos

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mango Salsa

    In a bowl, combine the diced mango, chopped red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Mix well and season with salt to taste. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Tilapia

    Season the tilapia fillets with blackening seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side until blackened and cooked through. Remove from heat and flake the fish.

  3. 3

    Make the Red-Chile Tomatillo Sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine the diced tomatillos and red chili powder. Cook over medium heat until the tomatillos are soft and the mixture is combined, about 5 minutes. Blend if desired for a smoother consistency.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet. Fill each tortilla with flaked tilapia, a spoonful of mango salsa, and drizzle with red-chile tomatillo sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately with extra salsa and sauce on the side.
