  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1-2 tsp jerk marinade
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

For the salsa

  • 1 Mango diced
  • ¼ cup red onion finely diced
  • ¼ cup cilantro finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño diced. (De-seeded for less spice)
  • 1-2 limes juiced
  • Salt + pepper to taste
  • Tajìn seasoning to taste
  • Red pepper flakes optional

Taco Toppings

  • Queso Fresco
  • Avocado optional
  • sour cream optional

Instructions
 

  • Dice mango, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño then add to a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, Tajìn, and red pepper flakes, if desired. Then squeeze in fresh lime juice. Stir until fully incorporated. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • In a bowl add fish and season with 1 tsp of olive oil, your favorite Jerk marinade, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika and black pepper. Mix until well coated. Allow the fish to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet, over medium heat. Add the catfish in and cook for about 5 minutes on each side. Once cooked through, flake the fish into pieces.
  • Toast the tortillas directly on a grill or over a gas stove for 1-2 minutes, or until you get charred marks. If you don’t have a gas stove, you can brown them in a cast iron skillet instead.
  • To serve, layer the cooked fish, and mango salsa into charred tortillas.
  • Top with queso fresco and a squeeze of lime and enjoy!
