What You’ll Need
- 1 lb Salmon Fillet (skinned & cubed)
- 1 tbsp Chipotle in Adobo (minced)
- 1 Ripe Mango (finely diced)
- 1/4 cup Red Onion (minced)
- 1/2 cup Fresh Cilantro (chopped)
- 1 Lime (juiced)
- 8 Small Corn Tortillas
- 1 tsp Honey or Agave
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
- The Mango Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, half the cilantro, and half the lime juice. Stir gently and let it sit so the flavors meld.
- Season the Salmon: Toss the salmon cubes with the chipotle in adobo, honey, and a pinch of salt. Ensure every piece is well-coated.
- Sear: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Cook the salmon for 2-3 minutes per side until charred on the outside and flaky on the inside.
- Warm Tortillas: Briefly toast your tortillas over an open flame or in a dry pan until soft and slightly charred.
- Assemble: Place a few chunks of salmon in each tortilla. Top with a generous scoop of mango salsa and a sprinkle of remaining cilantro.
Pro Tip: Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or avocado crema if you want to cool down the chipotle heat even more!
