CARIBBEAN
TACOS WITH MANGO-CILANTRO SALSA
For
a more portable version, use 8- or 10-inch
tortillas. Instead of folding the tortillas,
roll them around the filling, tucking in
the sides to form a burrito-style wrap.
8
6-inch flour tortillas
1 pound fresh or frozen halibut steaks,
cut 1 inch thick
1/2 teaspoon Jamaican jerk seasoning
2 cups shredded fresh spinach or lettuce
Mango-Cilantro Salsa (recipe follows)
Fresh spinach leaves (optional)
Heat
a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook
tortillas, one at a time, for 15 to 30 seconds
per side or until slightly browned. Wrap
tortillas, in one stack, in foil. Keep warm.

Cut
fish into 1-inch-wide strips; sprinkle with Jamaican
jerk seasoning. Place seasoned fish strips on
the greased unheated rack of a broiler pan. Place
wrapped tortillas on lower rack of oven. Broil
fish 4 inches from the heat for 8 to 12 minutes
or until fish flakes easily with a fork, turning
once.
Fill
each tortilla with shredded spinach or lettuce,
fish, and Mango-Cilantro Salsa. Fold gently in
half. If desired, serve on spinach leaves.
Makes
8 tacos (4 main-dish servings).
