Making the Fish Tacos:
You can pretty much use any fish of your choice – Flounder, Mahi Mahi, lemon Sole, Tilapia, Salmon.
I prefer using any flaky white fish because it highlights the flavors of the cilantro-lime marinade and the amazing avocado mango salsa.
To make healthy Mexican Tacos with fish, firstly take the fish in a bowl and sprinkle salt, turmeric, chili powder, lemon juice, 1 ½ tbsp. oil and chopped cilantro. Combine well.
Keep the marinated fish overnight in the refrigerator or marinate for one hour. (You can also marinate the fish with the taco seasoning, juice of 1 lime and a small bunch of cilantro for about an hour before making it on the stove top).
Heat about 2 tsp. of oil in a large skillet and place the marinated fish pieces or fillets. Cook the fish over low medium heat for about five minutes. Flip the pieces over and cook on the other side. Once the fish is fully cooked, transfer onto a plate.
Making the salsa: You can either use store-bought salsa or make it at home. In a bowl add finely chopped mango, jalapeño’s, avocado, red onion, cilantro and minced garlic. Season with salt, black pepper, cumin powder and lime juice. Toss well and refrigerate for half an hour.
Making the Greek Yogurt Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, a pinch of sugar, salt to taste, 1/2 tsp cumin powder and 1/4 tsp black pepper powder. Keep aside
Making the Black Beans: Heat about 3tsp of oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Put in the chopped onions and fry for about two minutes until they turn translucent. Then tip in the chopped tomato and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Season with salt, turmeric powder, red chilly powder, cumin powder, coriander powder and cilantro. Mix well cover and cook over low-medium heat for five minutes. Now add the black beans and combine well. Pour 1 cup of water, cover and cook for a further 5 min. The consistency should be slightly thick. The black beans curry thickens after an hour or when refrigerated
Assembling the tacos:
Heat the tacos according to package instruction or heat for 30 seconds each on a pan over the stove or in the microwave. Also microwave the corn.
Place shredded lettuce over each taco and top with fish, black beans, mango salsa, Greek yogurt, chopped cucumber, sweet corn, chopped spring onions and shredded cheese.
Serve delicious and healthy Fish Tacos with lemon wedges.
