Fish Tacos with Mango Pico de Gallo

My usually night routine is to flip through a couple of pages of one of the cookbooks from my ever growing collection. Buying and owning those delicious looking books is so addictive, and I admit that I have no self-control. I. Want. Them. ALL!

So as I was going through Bobby Dean’s Everyday Eats, this recipe was just too good to pass. The book promises healthier recipes that are 350 calories or less, and all under 30 minutes. As it is the mango season now, I adapted his Avocado Pico de Gallo, and made it with Mango instead. Spiced things up a little with cayenne, because you know, I like it hot. If you can get your hands on some jalapeños, you can use that instead of cayenne. The sweetness of the mango cuts through the spices and leaves you wanting more!

This was so sooooooooo good! I could not stop eating it. I was going in spoonful after spoonful. I suppose I can have this alone as a meal. :p

The whole meal was so simple to make, and as promised, dinner was served in 30 minutes. I also made a little cucumber yoghurt relish as a side dish or in place of the sour cream to extinguish the heat for le husband. Because you know, he can’t handle my hotness. (just kidding! I’m still training his tolerance for spicy food)

If you only have 30 minutes to spare in your kitchen, I highly recommend you try this recipe! The husband said that there was an explosion of flavours when he took his first bite. One that he doesn’t quite know how to handle, the combination of flavours blew him away (in a good way).
