Fish Tacos

I'm seriously lacking inspiration tonight. I think I used it all up cooking dinner, because dinner tonight ROCKED.

I had some frozen Mahi Mahi from Costco that I decided would work really well for fish tacos. The thing was, I don't think I've ever had fish tacos before. I've seen them often enough, but for some reason they just never sounded good to me before today. Weird, I know.

I knew I didn't want to fry the fish, I wanted something light and summery. So I grilled it with just a little salt and pepper. I love Mahi Mahi so much.

Now you can't just shove some fish in a tortilla and call it a fish taco, you have to have something else and that something else ended up being a black bean-mango salsa.
And it was awesome.
I dumped a can of rinsed black beans into a bowl then I added half a red bell pepper and half a green bell pepper, diced. Also a diced, small onion, some cilantro, lime juice, cumin, salt and pepper. I was lucky and had picked up some mangoes today that were really yummy, so I diced a couple of them up and threw them in too. I let it all set for a while while the fish cooked. I think that next time I would put some jalapeno in there to give it a little heat.



They turned out so pretty. They made me think of San Diego which made me happy because I love San Diego.
