Preparation
Step 1
To Make The Mango Chipotle Fish Tacos Ingredients:
Step 2
Season both sides of the fish with a few generous pinches of salt and pepper.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the fish and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the fish is cooked through and opaque and flakes easily. (Cooking time will depend on the size/thickness of your fish.) Remove from heat and transfer fish to a separate plate. Use two forks to flake the fish into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
Assemble your tacos by filling a tortilla (or I like using two tortillas) with your desired amount of fish, a few slices of avocado, mango slaw. Then drizzle with the zesty chipotle sauce.
Step 5
Serve immediately.
Step 6
To Make The Mango Slaw:
Step 7
Toss all ingredients together in a large bowl until combined.
Step 8
To Make The Creamy Chipotle Lime Sauce:
Step 9
Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor. Process until completely smooth. (Or alternately, if you finely chop the chipotle peppers, you can just whisk this sauce together in a bowl until smooth.)
