Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

1 lb white fish fillets (such as tilapia or cod)
2 tablespoons chipotle sauce
Juice of 2 limes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cabbage
1 ripe mango, diced
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions

Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
In a bowl, combine the chipotle sauce, lime juice, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the fish fillets and coat them evenly in the marinade. Let sit for 10 minutes.
While the fish is marinating, prepare the mango slaw by mixing the shredded cabbage, diced mango, red onion, cilantro, honey, olive oil, and lime juice in a separate bowl. Season with salt to taste.
Cook the marinated fish on the grill or skillet for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky.
Warm the tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by placing pieces of fish on the tortillas, topping them with the mango slaw, and adding extra cilantro if desired.

Notes

Tip: For added crunch, top your tacos with some sliced radishes or avocado slices.

For a milder version, reduce the amount of chipotle sauce in the marinade. You can also substitute the fish with shrimp or grilled chicken if you prefer. The mango slaw can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

These tacos are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat the fish gently in a skillet to avoid drying it out.
