Mahi-Mango Tacos


These few days of warm weather have definitely given me Spring Fever.  I'm ready to be poolside/lakeside/beachside with a fruity drink in hand . . . but until then, I'll settle for the fruit!  One of my favorite things about Spring and Summer is the abundance of delicious fruit.  This dish is definitely one that's perfect for summertime, incorporating mangoes and avacadoes with fresh [or frozen] mahi mahi, and made me reminisce about our Honeymoon in Aruba.  Needless to say, it's wonderful and I hope you enjoy it!

Ingredients:
1 mango, peeled, pitted, and cubed
1 avacado, peeled, pitted, and cubed
½ red onion, finely chopped
juice of 1 lime
fresh cilantro, chopped (to taste)
salt & pepper
1 tbs olive oil
2 large mahi mahi fillets
1 tbs blackening spice
tortillas

(Makes 4-8 tacos, depending in your tortilla size)

Directions:
Salsa: Mix the mango, avacado, onion, cilantro and juice of 1 lime together.  Season with Salt and pepper.
Fish: Heat a pan on the stove.  Drizzle olive oil onto the pan.  Add the mahi mahi and sprinkle with blackening spice on both side of the fillets.  Cook for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Once the fish is cooked and the salsa is prepared, warm the tortillas (in the microwave or on the stove) and cut the fish into small chunks.  Place a heaping spoonful of mahi mahi on the tortilla, followed by a large spoonful of the mango-avacado salsa.   Enjoy!
