Baja Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa

My very hip Southern California friend Kami introduced me to fish tacos at her favorite place in Orange County:  Wahoo’s Fish Tacos, super casual hangouts with over 60 locations in the US,  where they serve’m fresh and flavorful.  I fell in love!  My preference is grilled white fish like talapia or mahi mahi loaded with nutritious goodness like potassium-rich mangos and vitamin C-packed cabbage slaw.  I use white corn tortillas for a high fiber punch.


Brush the grill rack with a little canola oil to avoid sticking when you grill the fish.  Use freshly chopped cabbage or right out of the bag for convenience and of course,  you can always use prepared guacamole, but fresh cut avocado is the bomb!  The mango salsa adds sweetness; save some for chicken or sweet pork salads (can you say Costa Vida?)  No matter how you put it together, fish tacos are a summer staple.
