Healthy Fish Mango Taco

9/21/2017

PictureFish Mango Taco's
The crunch of this unique coleslaw in contrast to the warm soft mango is a delight to the taste buds. The basics for this recipe are the microwaved fish, the tortilla, the mango (or avocado if you prefer), and the coleslaw made with the rest of the ingredients. So delicious and so easy!

What's so "healthy" about this version fish tacos you may ask. While most fish recipes call for fried fish, this one is has a quick and healthy method of cooking the fish in a microwave.  So easy!

Serves: 4     Prep time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
​*1 pound mahi-mahi or other firm white fish
1/8 cup white wine
1 ripe mango, peeled and sliced or
     2 ripe avocados, peeled and sliced
1 cup Mexican shredded cheese
4 large tortillas (I prefer whole-wheat.)
1 1/2 cups shredded cabbage
1/4 cup Greek yogurt or low-fat sour cream
1/4 cup reduced fat mayonnaise (I prefer
     Trader Joe's Reduced Fat Mayo Dressing)
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 cup salsa verde (I prefer Trader Joe's salsa
​     verde)
Salt to taste
​1/4 cup Greek yogurt or low-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped

*Do not use tilapia. Farm-raise tilapia, especially from China, has been identified as carrying dangerous pathogens. 
​
Directions
1. Place fish in covered microwave container with the white wine. Microwave on high until the fish flakes, about 6 minutes. Drain the liquid and break the fish into large chunks.
2.  Make the coleslaw by mixing together the yogurt, mayo, milk, and salsa verde. Mix in the shredded cabbage. Add salt to taste.
3.  Place the tortillas (open) on a baking sheet. Cover one half of each tortilla with a quarter of the fish, a quarter of the coleslaw, and a quarter (more or less) of the mango. Add a 1/8 cup of cheese to each.  Fold the uncovered portion over the filling and sprinkle each taco with another 1/8 cup of cheese.
4. Place the sheet under the broiler and broil on low until the cheese is melted. 
5. Transfer the tacos to individual plates. Top with dollops of Greek yogurt or sour cream and sprinkles of cilantro.  Serve and enjoy!
I hope you enjoy this dish. Let me know if you've tried it and how it turned out.

Good cooking to you,
​Linda​​​​​

    Linda M. Kurth is the creative mind behind such stories as the romance, Home of the Heart, and her  memoir, God, the Devil and Divorce, as well as the recipes and crafts you'll find in these pages. Here's how this blog began:
    ​
    "This chicken salad is fabulous" my writer friends told me at our little luncheon. "We want the recipe."

    "I've been thinking of starting a recipe blog," I said. "This will be the first dish on it. Will that work for you?"

    "Do it!" they urged. 

    I've thought about creating a cookbook for years, but with all of my other activities, I realize that's not going to happen in the traditional sense. So I'm happy to have this venue to share my favorite dishes and discoveries. I hope you'll find some dishes here that become some of your favorites too.
