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.

This was pretty good. I added fresh chopped cilantro to the pineapple salsa.
