Ingredients

Mango Salsa:

  • 3 mangoes, diced

  • 2 peaches, diced

  • 3 poblano peppers, seeded and diced

  • ½ red onion, diced, or more to taste

  • ½ lime, juiced, or more to taste

  • 1 bunch cilantro, chopped, divided

Special Sauce:

  • 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon ketchup

  • teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 24 (6 inch) corn tortillas

  • cooking spray

  • 2 pounds fresh salmon

  • 1 small head cabbage, shredded

  • 3 avocados, sliced

  • 2 limes, cut into wedges

Directions

  1. Combine mangoes, peaches, poblano peppers, red onion, juice of 1/2 a lime, and 1/2 the cilantro in a large bowl to make mango salsa. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. Mix sour cream, mayonnaise, ketchup, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl to make special sauce.

  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange tortillas on a baking sheet.

  4. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat; coat with cooking spray. Cook salmon until easily flaked with a fork, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and flake into smaller pieces with a fork.

  5. Heat tortillas in the preheated oven until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

  6. Divide salmon among tortillas. Top with mango salsa, special sauce, shredded cabbage, avocados, and remaining cilantro. Wrap up tacos and serve lime wedges alongside.

Cook's Note:

Use flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas if preferred.

Substitute nectarines for the peaches if desired.

Substitute Anaheim peppers for the poblano peppers if desired.
