Ingredients

Mango Lime Cream Sauce

  • 2 cups diced mango
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar

Mango Salsa

  • 3 ripe mangos, cut into 1/2" pieces
  • 1 lime, zested and juiced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced finely
  • 1 jalapeno, deseeded, diced finely
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro, diced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 avocado, chopped (reserve the avocado until ready to serve) optional

Baked Fish

  • 2 lbs. cod or tilapia, or other white fish
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 3 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder

Refried Beans

  • 1 can (16 oz) refried beans
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Additional Taco Ingredients

  • tortillas (corn or flour)
  • lime juice
  • cilantro

Instructions

Mango Lime Cream Sauce

  • Combine ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Pour into an airtight container and chill until ready to serve.

Mango Salsa

  • Add all chopped ingredients, except avocado, into a bowl or airtight container. Add lime zest, salt, and lime juice.
  • Toss to coat all ingredients and chill for at least 1 hour, up to 4.
    When ready to serve mix in the diced avocado.

Baked Fish

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • First prepare dredge. Mix together cornstarch, flour, garlic salt, and chili powder. Set aside.
  • If fish isn't already cut, cut into 1-2 inch strips. Once cut, dredge each piece of fish into flour mixture, then place onto prepared baking sheet.
  • Continue with each piece of fish. Once finished place baking sheet into oven.
  • Baking time will depend greatly on the thickness of your fish and the type of fish (thinner cuts will bake much faster).
    Estimate 15-25 minutes total cooking time. I like my fish crispy so I like to bake it until it's golden brown. Keep an eye on the oven to see when it's cooked to your liking.
  • Remove fish from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Refried Beans

  • In a microwave safe bowl combine beans, garlic salt, lime juice, and cream. Microwave for 1-2 minutes until hot and steaming.

Taco Assembly

  • Layer the refried beans onto each tortilla, then top with the baked fish, mango salsa, fresh cilantro, and the mango lime cream sauce. The sauce can be a bit messy but it makes the tacos delicious. Enjoy!
  • Note: use some of the extra mango salsa to serve with chips. It's delicious on its own too.
