    2. Meanwhile, whisk together the soured cream, lime juice, ginger, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper to taste; set aside. Gently combine the mango, pineapple, avocado and chilli in a bowl.
    3. To assemble, place a cooked mahi mahi fillet into the centre of a warmed tortilla. Place a scoop of the mango salsa onto the fish, then drizzle with the soured cream sauce and finish with a generous pinch of chopped coriander .

    Wonderful recipe! I put red onions into the salsa that added a nice kick, as well as a second jalapeño. The dressing was delicious...some extra cumin gives it a some good spice. This was fast and easy to make, and everyone loved it.  -  08 Apr 2008  (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

    I just got back from a trip to Hawaii and was craving a fish taco like the one I had at a restaurant there. This comes VERY close...but without the view of the ocean! I even used a frozen mix of pineapple, mango, and papaya and it turned out lovely. Also, I didn't have mahi mahi, so used tilapia instead. This is a softer fish -- it tasted good, but the mahi mahi would have held up better. Still, a great tropical meal.  -  28 Feb 2009  (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

    I absolutely loved this, and it's super easy! I didn't have time to make fresh salsa, so I used a good quality salsa and just added fresh mango. It was quite good.  -  18 Jun 2008  (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
