Citrus Fish Tacos Recipe

Prep: 15 min. + chilling Bake: 15 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

15 15 30

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups finely chopped fresh pineapple
1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained and cut in half
1 envelope reduced-sodium taco seasoning, divided
3 tablespoons thawed orange juice concentrate, divided
3 tablespoons lime juice, divided
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1-1/2 pounds halibut or cod, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
8 corn tortillas (6 inches), warmed
3 cups shredded lettuce

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the pineapple, oranges, 1 tablespoon taco seasoning, 1 tablespoon orange juice concentrate, 1 tablespoon lime juice and jalapeno pepper. Cover and refrigerate.
Place fish in an ungreased shallow 2-qt. baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the remaining orange juice concentrate, lime juice and taco seasoning. Pour over fish; toss gently to coat. Cover and bake at 375° for 12-16 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
Place a spoonful of the fish mixture down the center of each tortilla. Top with lettuce and pineapple salsa: roll up. Yield: 4 servings.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
