Ingredients
Peach and Mango Salsa
- 1 cup diced mango (about 1 large mango) squeeze the pit to get as much juice as you can!
- 1 cup diced peaches (about 2 peaches) or more mango
- ½ cup diced red bell peppers
- ¼ cup finely diced red onion
- 2 tablespoons minced jalapeno pepper
- 1 tablespoon minced cilantro
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Fish
- 1 ½ lb tilapia or other firm white fish such as cod, rockfish, halibut, mahi-mahi, or snapper
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh lime juice
Lime Crema
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ lime zested and juiced
- 1 small clove garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 corn tortillas (street cart size or 6 inch) warmed, or lightly charred in a very hot skillet
- For serving: avocado (optional), lime wedges, cilantro
Instructions
- Make the salsa: Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Cover, and chill until ready to serve. It’s best to let it chill for an hour or so to allow the flavors to meld.
- Make the crema: In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, lime zest and juice, garlic, and salt until smooth.
- Pat fish dry and sprinkle evenly with chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat. Add the fish and cook 2-3 minutes, until starting to brown. Carefully flip and cook 2-3 minutes longer until it flakes easily. Transfer to a plate and finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Separate the fish into chunks for serving.
- To assemble tacos, fill a tortilla with fish, drizzle a little crema over it and top with peach and mango salsa. Serve with additional lime wedges and diced avocado if desired.
