Easy Fish Tacos with Mango Avocado Salsa
By Donna&Danielle on January 22, 2016
I love me some fish tacos! It is one of my favorite dinners. They are full of flavor that explodes in your mouth without being too spicy. These Easy Fish Tacos with Mango Avocado Salsa are a regular on my 21 Day Fix Menu! They are simple and quick to make and oh so good!
Make your salsa, season your fish and pan fry it or grill it, heat your tortillas and put it all together! The salsa takes a little time to make (cubing the avocado and mango) but not too long so do that first as the fish cooks quickly. I also like the salsa to chill for about 30 minutes but if you are in a hurry you can use it sooner.
I like to use broccoli slaw as it adds an extra crunch to the tacos. I buy broccoli slaw in a bag in the produce section (without dressing). Using corn tortillas instead of flour allows me to have two tacos and use just one yellow container. And we all know how precious those yellow containers are!
I also used to use store bought taco seasoning when I made fish tacos but no more! The first time I made and used the 21 Day Fix Smoky Southwestern Seasoning we were hooked! I now make a large container of this yummy seasoning to have on hand! I keep it in empty seasoning jars and re-label them. It is great for regular tacos too!
The mango avocado salsa contains just a few simple ingredients and pairs nicely with the tacos. As an added bonus mango, avocado and broccoli are all considered super foods!
For the 21 Day Fix meal plan I count 2 fish tacos with broccoli slaw and mango avocado salsa as: 1 yellow, 1 blue, ½ – 1 green, 1 red, ¼- 1/2 purple.
If you use cheese, yogurt or other toppings don’t forget to count for them!
Serve tacos with a salad and rice and black beans and you have a dinner fit for company! Enjoy!
