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.)
