Ingredients
  

For The Fish

  • 1.5 pounds white fish fillets mahi-mahi, tilapia, or cod
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For The Mango Salsa

  • 2 ripe mangoes diced
  • ½ red onion finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño seeded and minced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • Salt to taste

For Assembly

  • 8-10 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Lime wedges for serving
  • Extra cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the marinade: Mix olive oil, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Add the fish fillets and coat them evenly. Let them marinate for 15-20 minutes while you prep everything else.
  • Make the mango salsa: Combine diced mangoes, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl. Season with salt and give it a good stir. Set aside to let the flavors meld together.
  • Preheat your grill: Get your grill nice and hot - medium-high heat works perfectly. Clean the grates and brush them with a little oil to prevent sticking.
  • Grill the fish: Place the marinated fish fillets on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on thickness. You want the fish to be opaque and flaky, with beautiful grill marks.
  • Break up the fish: Once cooked, transfer the fish to a cutting board and break it into chunks using two forks. This makes it easier to eat in tacos!
  • Warm the tortillas: Quickly warm your tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side, or wrap them in foil and heat them in the oven.
  • Assemble your tacos: Layer each tortilla with shredded cabbage, grilled fish chunks, generous spoonfuls of mango salsa, and a drizzle of sour cream. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and garnish with extra cilantro.
