Honey Mangoes Are Here

YEAH!!  The June fruit is here. Honey Mangoes.



So, I went to Pinterest and ran across this site with a recipe for Crispy Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa and Avocado Salsa Verde.  We had it Friday night for dinner. The pretty photos and real recipe is on that site, but here's what I did.


I tried to follow the recipe perfectly, but I didn't have any radishes, so I only used the cabbage.  I made the mango salsa exactly as written.  I baked the fish also.  Honestly, you miss that beer batter fried crunch that comes with crunchy fish tacos, but the baking process was much cleaner and easier than frying.  Healthier too, I suppose.


But the BEST part was the Avocado Salsa Verde.  DELICIOUS!! Even if you don't care for fish tacos, you should try this sauce.  SO GOOD! It's a raw, easy, blender sauce:
  • ½ pound tomatillos (about 4 medium tomatillos), coarsely chopped
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 jalapeno, chopped 
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves, packed
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Salt

This would be good on any taco, taco salad, burrito. Shoot, it would be good with chips as a dip. I will definitely make this the next time I do a mexican dinner/party.

I had a bunch of it left over because you don't use that much per taco. I checked on it this morning and the lime juice keeps everything nice and green. I am going to use it for a salad dressing this weekend. I highly recommend making this sauce.


This has a great fresh taste with the salsa, good crunch from the cabbage, and sweet from the mango.  It would be good as a chicken or lobster taco too.  I'm sure we will have this again this summer.  It's a perfect summer dinner.
