Ingredients
Gorton's seafood
FOR THE TACOS:
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
One 30 pack Gorton’s Fish Sticks (you’ll have a few leftover)
8 hard taco shells or soft corn tortillas, warmed according to package instructions
Shredded iceberg or romaine lettuce
Crumbled queso fresco, feta cheese, or cotija cheese (about a cup)
Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
FOR THE MANGO AVOCADO SALSA:
1 avocado, chopped (about 1 cup)
Juice of 1 lime
1 mango, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
3/4 cup chopped tomatoes (grape tomatoes or regular tomatoes with seeds and excess moisture removed)
1-2 Tablespoons chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
A few grinds of pepper
Preparation
FOR THE TACOS:
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Step 2
Stir together the lime juice, chili powder, and cumin.
Step 3
Prepare the fish sticks as per the package instructions for cooking in the oven. When instructed to flip the fish sticks after 8 minutes, brush each side of the fish sticks with the lime juice mixture and finish baking.
Step 4
Place lettuce in the bottom of each taco shell or tortilla. Top with three fish sticks, the Mango Avocado Salsa, about a tablespoon of cheese, and sour cream or Greek yogurt, if desired.
FOR THE MANGO AVOCADO SALSA:
Step 1
Add the avocado to a bowl and top with the lime juice. Toss to prevent the avocado from browning.
Step 2
Add the remaining ingredients, season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside or store in the refrigerator to use later.
