Ingredients

Salmon

Salad

  • 1 ripe mango peeled + chopped
  • 1 jalapeno seeded + chopped
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1/3 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • salt to taste
  • 1-2 heads romaine lettuce chopped
  • 8 Old El Paso Soft Tortilla Taco Boats
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • plain yogurt for serving

Instructions

  • In a large gallon size zip-top bag or bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, the chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, pepper and lime zest + lime juice. Add the salmon and toss to combine.
  • Heat a medium size skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and once hot, add the red pepper + poblano pepper and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir fry the peppers for 4-5 minutes. Remove the peppers from the pan. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the salmon, skin side facing up. Sear the salmon for 3-4 minutes and then flip and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes or until the salmon reaches your desired doneness. Cooking times will vary depending on the size of your salmon. Cut the salmon into 4-6 pieces.
  • In a large bowl, toss together the mango, jalapeno, cilantro lime juice and a pinch of salt.
  • Divide the lettuce among the tortilla boats. Top with the mango salsa and shredded cheddar. Add the peppers, salmon and sliced avocado. Serve with yogurt and tortilla chips if desired. EAT!

Notes

*This salad is also great when made with chicken. Just swap in 1 pound boneless chicken tenders for the salmon. Follow the recipe as directed. *The salad boats can be assembled a few hours in advance and kept in the fridge until ready to serve. Just before serving, cook the peppers and salmon.
