Ingredients

• 1 pound salmon fillets
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 small tortillas
• 1 mango, diced
• 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1/2 avocado, diced
• Optional toppings: sour cream, shredded lettuce

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Rub the salmon fillets with olive oil and sprinkle with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Place the salmon on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky.
3. While the salmon is cooking, prepare the mango salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice, and diced avocado. Mix well to combine.
4. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
5. Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Use a fork to flake it into bite-sized pieces.
6. To assemble the tacos, place a spoonful of the flaked salmon onto each warm tortilla. Top with a generous spoonful of mango salsa and any desired toppings such as sour cream and shredded lettuce.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
