Cod Tacos with Mango-Avocado Salsa & Lime Crema

In my lifetime, tacos have come a long way.  No longer is it strictly ground beef in a crunchy taco shell.  My current favorite is this cod taco.  Topped with Mango-Avocado salsa and lime crema, it's just so fresh and delicious.

Mango-Avocado Salsa
Mix gently:
1 cup of frozen mango chunks (defrosted)
1 avocado, diced
1 small tomato, diced
Juice of 1/2 lime
Salt to taste

Set aside and try not to eat it all with a spoon.

Lime Crema
Stir together:
1/2 cup sour cream
Zest plus juice of 1/2 lime
Pinch of salt

Thin with a splash of water or milk until it's a consistency that will drizzle over your tacos.

Cod
Pat cod dry and season both sides with:
Salt and pepper
Chili powder
Garlic powder

Heat a skillet over medium-high with a little oil.  

Cook cod 3 - 4 minutes per side until flaky and lightly golden.

Break into big, juicy chunks.

Tortillas
Warm flour tortillas in a dry pan on the stove top.

Assemble your tacos:
Warm tortilla
Cod chunks
Mango-avocado salsa
Lime crema drizzle
Extra squeeze of lime

This is bright, fresh, slightly indulgent, and absolutely a good dinner decision.  

I like to serve it with Mexican Corn Cake.
