Fish Tacos

I think I may have just made my favorite meal of all time! I do follow recipes on occassion, but sometimes it is much more rewarding to cook intuitively. You run the risk of making a dish that doesn't quite meet your expectations, but every once in a while you create a masterpiece. I think tonight I have done just that. Gloating may be necessary here, only because I haven't felt like I have been preparing the best meals lately. I am on a special dietary plan and my meals have been pretty bland, to say the least; lots of brown rice and chicken. We have been craving fish tacos and decided to make them the healthy way, not battered and fried. I had picked up a bag of slaw mix at the market this weekend so that sparked the idea.

The sweetness of the marinade, slaw dressing, and mango paired really well with the acidity of the citrus. The avocado added a nice smooth texture and flavor. I will say, the corn tortillas had a hard time holding up to the moisture, so I may suggest hard tacos if you plan on making this dish.
