Caribbean Fish Tacos

For the tacos ~

Recipe by Nisa Burns

1 Tbsp olive oil
1 lb tilapia fillets or another lean white fish 
5 corn or flour tortillas
2 limes
1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced
½ head of cabbage, shredded
5 tbsp Mango Lime Salsa

• How to prepare the tacos ~
  
  • Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place the fish in the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. It should be flaky and milky white when done. Overcooking will cause it to be dry and tough. Divide the fish into five servings.
  • Place one serving of fish on each tortilla. Squeeze the limes over the fish, add the avocado slices, and top with the shredded cabbage and Mango Lime Salsa.

For the salsa ~

• 1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and diced small (about 1½ cups)
• ½ medium red onion, finely chopped
• 1 jalapeno, finely chopped (include ribs and seeds for a hotter taste)
• 3 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
• 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
• ½ avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced small 
•   (about 1½ cups) peeled, cored, and diced small
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp pepper

How to prepare the salsa ~
Combine all of the ingredients except the salt and pepper in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
