  • 1 tsp paprika or more, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Mango Salsa:

  • 1 slightly ripe mango diced
  • Jalapeño diced (seeds removed for less heat)

  • Red onion diced
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp avocado oil
  • Salt to taste

For the Taco Sauce:

  • 3 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 2 tsp lime juice
  • 2 tsp La Costeña Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of white pepper

For Garnish:

  • Prepared taco sauce

Instructions
 

Season the Fish:

  • Cut the fish into strips.
  • In a bowl, mix together avocado oil, lime juice, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Rub the seasoning over the cod fillets, remember to use a little less lime for a less sour kick.
  • Set aside to marinate the fish for about 10 minutes.

Make the Mango Salsa:

  • In a large bowl, combine the diced mango, jalapeño, bell pepper, avocado, and red onion.
  • Drizzle with lime juice and avocado oil, then sprinkle with salt.
  • Gently toss everything together and set aside.

Taco Sauce:

  • In a blender, blend Greek yogurt, lime juice, Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce, sugar, salt, and white pepper.
  • Adjust the seasoning if needed, and set aside.

Cook the Fish:

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little more avocado oil if needed.
  • Cook the cod fillets for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. You’ll know they’re done when the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Assemble the Tacos:

  • Use the oil from the pan to toast your tortillas.
  • Add a piece of fish to each tortilla, then top with a spoonful of mango salsa.
  • Drizzle with the taco sauce and finish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
