Ingredients
- 1 (pound) fresh mahi mahi steaks, cut 1-inch thick
- 1/2 (cup) margarita mix (no alcohol)
- 1 (teaspoon) jerk seasoning
- 1 (15.0 ounce can) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 mango, seeded, peeled and chopped
- 1 large chopped seeded tomato
- 3 (tablespoon) snipped fresh cilantro
- 2 (tablespoon) thinly sliced green onion
- 1 fresh jalapeno, seeded and chopped
- 1 (tablespoon) lime juice
- 1/2 (teaspoon) ancho chili powder* or regular chili powder
- 1/4 (teaspoon) salt
- 1 (tablespoon) cooking oil
- 8 flour or corn tortillas (6-inch size)
- 2 (cup) shredded fresh leaf lettuce or spinach
Directions
- Rinse fish, pat dry with paper towels. Cut fish into 3/4-inch strips.
- For marinade, in a shallow dish stir together margarita mix and jerk seasoning. Add fish strips, turning to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, turning fish once or twice.
- Meanwhile, for salsa, in a large bowl stir together the beans, mango, tomato, cilantro, green onion, jalapeno pepper, lime juice, ancho chili powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Drain fish, discarding marinade. In a 10-inch skillet cook fish in hot oil over medium heat for 2 to 4 minutes or until fish flakes easily with tested with a fork, turning fish occasionally.
- Meanwhile, heat tortillas according to package directions. Fill tortillas with lettuce, fish strips, and mango salsa. Serve immediately.
- * Ancho chili powder is made from ground ancho chiles (dried poblanos). It has a darker color and spicier flavor than regular chili powder. Find it with the spices in your supermarket.
- Make-ahead directions: The salsa can be made ahead and chilled for up to 2 hours. If chilled, it should be allowed to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving for best flavor and so it doesn't chill the fish when you add it to the tacos.
