Baja Fish Tacos with a Mango Salsa & Cilantro Yogurt Sauce

I love love LOVEEEE fish tacos.  If anyone out there has not had the wondrous experience of these seriously delish little bundles of joy, I highly recommend you get on that - pronto.   The mix of fresh flavors is amazing.  You've got the nice marinated and spiced white fish, mixed with the tangy, fresh flavors of the mango relish and then topped with a tart and aromatic cilantro sauce - they are heaven.

You will need: (makes about 4-6 tacos)

3 fresh white fish fillets such as tilapia, halibut or snapper
Corn or Flour Tortillas
Mixed Greens
Cooking Spray

For the Marinade:
Juice of 1 large lime
3/4 cup of chopped cilantro
1 tsp cayenne pepper
Salt & Black Pepper
1-2 tbsp Cumin
EVOO

For the Salsa:
1 cup chopped/cubed mango
3/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped cucumber
Juice of 1 large lime
1 chopped tomato
pinch of cayenne pepper
EVOO

For the Sauce:
2 cups plain yogurt
3/4 cup cilantro
1/4 cup lemon juice
Pinch of salt

Place your fish in a large flat bottom bowl or plastic container, add your marinade and cover the fish thoroughly.  Cover and let marinade in the fridge for 1 hour.

In a bowl, mix together the ingredients for your sauce, cover and put it in the fridge to let the flavors set until ready to serve.

When the fish is marinated, heat up a pan on the stove with 1 tbsp of oil.  Add your fish (in batches if you have to) and cook for about 4 minutes on each side (if you are using Tilapia which is what i use for this recipe).  The exact cooking time will vary depending on the type of fish you use.  While the fish is cooking - mix together the ingredients for your salsa.   When the fish is cooked - remove from the pan and set on a plate to rest for 5 minutes.  While the fish is resting, in a separate pan, spray your corn or flour tortillas on both sides with some cooking spray and on medium heat, slightly brown the tortillas on each side (less than a minute per side)  Flake the fish apart with a fork after the 5 minutes.

Place some yogurt sauce on your warm tortilla, top with your fish, your mango salsa and some mixed greens and take a bigggg bite!

Enjoy my little foodie friends :)
