These flavorful fish tacos get bonus points for authenticity thanks to their bright slaw topping. This recipe calls for a fruity sweet-meets-savory mango salsa paired with the earthy, cumin-scented fish, but you could also serve these with a salsa verde, or a mix of the two. Chipotle chili powder will infuse the fish with a slightly smoky spice. Chipotles are ripened jalapeños that have been smoked and dried. Serve with sliced avocado and fresh jalapeños on the side. Corn or rice would make the perfect side dish and both are great to have on hand to roll up, burrito style, with any leftovers - slaw, fish, or both.
