Mango Fish Tacos

June 4, 2015 by 918 Plate 6 Comments

These mango fish tacos are a delicious pan-fried treat with a bright twist!

Mango Fish Tacos | 918 Plate

My co-worker loved the fish tacos at the Boulder Grill downtown. We venture down there twice a month or so at lunch time. They had a great blackened tilapia with a sweet slaw and onions that make your breath smell…heavenly.

Here’s the back story for this recipe: Cod was on sale at Sprouts. Husband gets “two cod fillets.” And spent a bunch of money. I didn’t understand why it was so expensive if we just needed two servings of it. I open them at home and they are ENORMOUS. He says they looked small in the case…

After one of my regular visits to the Boulder Grill, I thought this might be a nice time to attempt them at home. We had to eat cod 4 times to get rid of it all, but these tacos made it easy and worth it!

The hubby strongly approved of the mango salsa. His taco ratio probably reached about 1:2 fish:salsa. Don’t overdo it on the cilantro, unless you reaaaaally like it. I’d advise giving it a nice chop.

TIP: Cod is really flaky and delicate. It’s okay if it breaks apart in the pan, I broke it up a little before placing it in the tacos anyway. This dish isn’t about the glamour! I made some with purple corn tortillas and the classic flour variety.

I hope you can each cook up some of your own versions of fish tacos to enJOY!

    These sound delicious!
    I love the idea of crispy fish inside a taco! Everything is better when wrapped in a tortilla 🙂

    Found this from the linkin party at #TryABiteTuesday from caleigh’s kitchen.

      I agree! We like wraps instead of sandwiches for lunch in our house 🙂
