FISH TACOS:

4 Tilapia filets
8 corn tortillas
1/2 cup cabbage
mango salsa (see recipe)
white sauce (see recipe)
1 avocado
lemon
lime
grapeseed oil

RENE'S HUSBAND'S MANGO SALSA:

5 roma tomatoes
2 mangos
1 medium red onion
1 bunch of cilantro
1 tbs chipotle powder
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
dash salt and pepper

Slice tomato and take meat out. Dice into quarter-inch pieces. Peel and dice mango, also in quarter-inch pieces. Dice red onion. Mix together in large bowl along with cilantro, chipotle powder, oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper; refrigerate until ready to use. (Best to let this chill for a few hours.)

WHITE SAUCE:

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 packet Old El Paso Taco Seasoning
1/4 cup cilantro
Put everything in a bowl, mix it together and refigerate until ready to use.

HOW TO COOK THE FISH TACOS:

Cut Tilapia into 1/2 inch strips. Put in glass pan. Squeeze lemon and lime juice over fish and marinate for five minutes.

Pour 2 tbsp of grapeseed oil in pan and turn heat on high. After five minutes, pat off fish, then place in pan. Cook until firm, about 3 minutes. Take out and set on paper towel. Now you're ready to build your tacos.

On warm corn tortillas, place fish, white sauce, cabbage, salsa and avocado. You also may add hot sauce. Fold and eat. ENJOY!

Wow. I happen to have most of those ingredients at home. I never thought I'd try fish tacos, but that recipe is completely gluten-free and is one more meal I could add to my arsenal.

That white sauce sounds awesome!

Billy ray would never steer your tum tum wrong, but it's hard to beat Wahoo's Fish Tacos if your ever in southern cal....... if not cook'em up according to BR's recipe. Have you ever substituted sweet onion for the purple onion in the salsa recipe?

I do like the components... the fish taco w/ tilapia... the mango salsa

but going back to the San Felipe B.C. days of my youth,
I still prefer mine with salsa fresca and a fresh fat juicy lime drizzled over it all.
