If I could give Monday a big fat bear hug, I would.
Yes, you read correct. I am happy it is Monday.
The weekend was cold, snowy, loud, and non-stop.
Actually, that is pretty much every weekend around here.
Our house is loud, messy, and full of chaos.
This is the total opposite of my personality.
If you have not figured it out by now, I am a total type A person. I like a very clean and calm environment. I like lists and I like routines. My family however, does not. How I have survived nineteen years with them is beyond me. I love them to death, but they drive me insane!
My family thinks I am clinically insane, but I am 99% sure any other normal person would run screaming from our house.
For some reason this weekend was especially loud. I think it was due to the fact that Asher HAD to wear my black pumps all over the kitchen. She clamped like crazy for what felt like hours.
Oh, and I am pretty sure she walks better than I do in heels. She is talented. Very talented.
So yeah, I am super happy it is Monday. Things a normally a little calmer during the week. Normally, but again in the Gerard house you can always expect the unexpected.
Anyway, letโs talk tacos! Specifically, Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos with an insanely delicious Chipotle Mango Salsa!
Yeah you guys, Mango Salsa is pretty much just amazing! Like whoa! Especially with crispy Mahi Mahi all stuffed into a warmed tortilla.
Plus, these tacos are so much fun. They totally take you to a tropical place, even if is a blizzard outside (seriously, the snow has not lightened up since Friday afternoon and it is still going strong). Oh, and did I mention they take maybe thirty minutes to throw together. So really there is NO excuse not to make these tonight.

Delicious, quick and easy! Yhe Chipotle Mango Salsa was so good with a really nice kick to it. Will definitely make again.
Hey Elsa,
Big thanks for making this recipe and sharing back. So glad it hit the spot!
Enjoy your Wednesday!
I only used the seasoning for the fish in this recipe on a pound of small mouth bass. I baked it with tiny dabs of butter on the fillets. It was great in tacos. I used a different mango salsa recipe because I didnโt have the ingredients for this one.
Hey Kathryn,
Big thanks for making this recipe and sharing back. So glad it hit the spot!
Happy Holidays!
Love this recipe.
Hi Kelly,
Awesome!! Thanks a bunch for testing this recipe out, so glad to hear it turned out well for you! xT
What can I sub for the chipotle chile powder? I forgot to grab it at the store! Thank you!
Hi Jenny,
Do you have chipotle powder or chili powder? Or any other spice you like will work! I hope you love the recipe!! xx
can you cook the fish on a grill?
Hey Kelly,
Sure, that will work well for you!! Let me know if you give the recipe a try, I hope you love it! xTieghan
I made these for Christmas Dinner but grilled the fish and also added a plain yogurt slaw to top with the mango salsa along with thin sliced red onions pickled earlier in the day. I also substituted smoked paprika for 1/3 of the called for paprika. The fish rub is one of the best I have tried. I really plastered it on the fish, and everyone loved it. I will make this repeatedly. The leftovers are wonderful, and the fish reheats well.

Teighan, you have the patience of a saint! That was a snarky comment from Sarah!
Love your feedback here! <3
That wasn’t necessary. “If you can be anything…be kind.” I think it’s kind of neat to know the personality of the recipe’s author. ๐
So good! Served with a side of cilantro lime cauliflower rice. Delish and so easy!
Thank you Michelle! xTieghan
