    Fish Tacos With Mango Pico De Gallo

    Fish Tacos Recipe

    It's Taco Tuesday! Season and grill your favorite fish (mine is cod!) and top with a fresh Mango Pico De Gallo and your Fish Tacos will be bursting with tropical flavors!

    Adding fresh mango to your Pico De Gallo adds a buttery note along with a hint of sweetness and will make this the best fish tacos recipe ever.

    I cooked my fish on the grill but you can make this recipe without grilling.

    There are many varieties of mangoes and you will always find at least one available throughout the year. Their flavors can be creamy, sweet, rich, spicy and/or fruity.

    My friends at the Mango Board describe each variety for you here Choosing Mango Varieties. Learn How to Choose A Mango! Learn How to Cut A Mango! Thank you Mango Board at www.mango.org!

    Taco Party Decorations

    Taco time is a good time for a taco party! Tacos are the best party food and always put me in a fiesta state of mind!

    If you decide to actually go all out and have a taco party, you definitely must start with hanging this Taco About A Party Banner (this makes me crack up every time!).

    Then add a colorful Serepe Plastic Tablecloth, or this set of hand woven serape table runners in fextive colors (or both!) and these adorable Fiesta Paper Striped Party Straws with Tacos, Sombreros and more on them.

    A taco serving plate with all the sections is an ideal way to serve all your favorite toppings and be sure to don your let's taco about it t-shirt (again, cracking up here!) and let the fiesta begin!
