Living here in the South-West, fish tacos are fairly popular. If you ask me, though, when its scorching hot outside the last thing I want is something battered, fried, and then wrapped in more carbs. When I saw this recipe I was delighted. Out went the deep frying and in came broiled fish with fresh, juicy, sweet fruit and vegetables all wrapped in a toasted whole wheat tortilla. Yum. And good for you, too.

My husband had a bad experience with fish tacos in his troubled youth or something like that and is not too fond of fish tacos, but since learning of this, I've been on a mission to convert him. Definitely will try this out this weekend!
Looks like a nice dish… I like recipes for 2 since I am always cooking for 2 and hate to have leftovers (I'm weird like that). I also like the healthy take on fish tacos instead of deep frying!
This looks wonderful! I'm in Arizona, where we also have an abundance of fish tacos, thanks to tilapia from Mexico. But I agree with you about them being fried. Luckily, most restaurants will grill or broil the fish instead if you just ask.
I can't wait to try these!
I gotta say I am not really partial to fish but after that beautiful picture and your awesome recipe rundown, I'll definitely have to give it a try.
These look like the perfect fish tacos. Healthful, colorful and packed with sweet, juicy mango.
