A good Fish Taco is all about texture and flavor. Tilapia is a great canvas for this particular recipe, and it's pretty easy to get your hands on.
The fish fillets are seasoned liberally with chili powder and baked. For crunch and heat, the fish is topped with a chipotle mayo slaw. Bright mango pico is a nice sweet balance to the chipotles. And for a little extra creaminess, an avocado slice is the perfect crowning jewel!
Chipotle Fish Tacos are full of color and flavor. A perfectly fresh and light meal!
