Recipe View Assemble the Tacos: Place a warmed tortilla on a plate. Spoon on a portion of Spanish rice and garlic black beans. Top with coleslaw mix, a piece of the cooked tilapia, and a generous spoonful of the mango-cilantro salsa. Finish with a dollop of the chipotle aioli. Serve immediately.

For extra flavor, marinate the tilapia in the spice mixture for up to 30 minutes before cooking.
Adjust the amount of jalapeno in the salsa to your preferred level of spice.
If you don't have chipotle puree, you can use a teaspoon of chipotle powder in the aioli.
To prevent the tortillas from drying out, wrap them in a clean kitchen towel while warming.

    These tacos are amazing! The mango salsa is the perfect sweet and spicy contrast to the smoky chipotle tilapia.

    I made this for a dinner party, and everyone raved about it. The aioli is the star of the show!

  • Brett Morissette

    The black beans were a great addition to the tacos. I usually just have rice, but the beans added extra protein and flavor.
